Noomi Rapace being considered for Alien Prequel
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps star Carey Mulligan has met with the director, and so has Tamara Drewe's Gemma Arterton. But according to Deadline, Ridley Scott is most interested in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo actress Noomi Rapace. The site claims that she has had more than one meeting with Ridley Scott, and that she has left a very strong impression on the director.
Noomi Rapace recently signed onto play a Gypsy in next Christmas' Sherlock Holmes 2. With the Untitled Alien Prequel on indefinite hold and that sequel shooting before the end of the year, its quite possible that Rapace will be able to take on both roles.
Deadline reports that meetings with potential cast members are ongoing , and that no decisions have been made at this current time.
Prometheus was released June 8th, 2012 and stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Guy Pearce, Logan Marshall-Green, Sean Harris, Rafe Spall. The film is directed by Ridley Scott.

If they want a young Ripley look alike then they cant have Alice Braga due to Predators so how about Summer Glau? and if they don't want her to look like Weaver, then January Jones?

Love to see the very fine Gemma Arterton get the role but Noomi's alright to, I guess. I think it's silly for the studio to not give Scott the money just because it's a hard R rating, come one guys just get it done already!

a $250m budget with a R rating that's weird cause the most famous and successful R rated film franchises are The Matrix Trilogy and The Terminator Trilogy except for Salvation
