THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO Noomi Rapace Reveals Her Character Details For PROMETHEUS! Swedish actress Noomi Rapace who first gained international fame acting in the Millennium series trilogy (2009's THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE, and THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST) is now well on her way to a possible Hollywood superstardom if she succeeds in Ridley Scott's upcoming ALIEN prequel, PROMETHEUS which is due next summer. In PROMETHEUS, Rapace plays Elizabeth Shaw and now, she has finally reveals the details about her character right below.
I play Elizabeth Shaw, researcher and archaeologist. She's British but was raised in Africa because her father was a missionary. From him she learned to believe in God, and she has a strong inner self. She is the most complete person I have ever played. She has an inner light. She's very stubborn and determined. She lost her parents when she was a child, so she's been alone from a young age. But she's very intelligent. I know that when one has to survive alone from an early age, one becomes strong. But also fragile, because the hurt child within her hasn't been able to evolve in a natural way. You get easily hurt emotionally. She's full of hope, a dreamer, a little naive. Halfway through the movie a lot of things happen and she turns into a fighter. Another part of her comes to life.
According to Rapace, she admired Sigourney Weaver's performance in the 1979 classic ALIEN which also contributed as a major inspiration for her performance.
There is a relationship there. I saw Alien as a teenager and was blown away. Can it really be like that? She was the first female star. With Alien and Thelma & Louise, Ridley has created a lot of hope and dreams.
