According to the UK paper Daily Mail a further three cast members have joined Prometheus, Idris Elba, Sean Harris and Kate Dickie:
“Elba will be best known to CBMers as playing Roque in The Losers as well as Heimdell in Marvel’s upcoming Thor of course. Harris you may recognize from Harry Brown with Michael Caine, or from the original Red Riding trilogy with Andrew Garfield. Scottish actress Dickie will most likely not be well known to US readers but she starred in the bleakly brilliant Red Road in the UK. “
The above quote was taken from the Comic Book Movie website. Nothing is known about the characters they play. Thanks to Invisible Darkness and Mathew Kirk for the news.
.Idris Elba, Sean Harris and Kate Dickie,

Excluding Theron....I hope she's the second one to get chestbursted.
Yeah, he had a great presence in that movie. Glad to see he's gonna be involved.
This very recent info all points to the idea that Promethues may not be a prequel but probably will contain the aliens and the jockeys - therefore it will take part in the same universe for sure. It MAY be set before Alien, but probably won't end with the jockey travelling off to LV-426 or anything like that, or PERHAPS it will be set some other time, maybe even after alien, or at the same time? who knows? and is it really important? as long as it's set in the same universe and involves the Giger Alien species in it then I'm a happy man.
Right now, "Prequel" can be considered a dirty word.
When people hear "prequel" they think of this:

For us Alien fans, we also think of these gems:

It's at a point that if a movie is a prequel people automatically assume it's going to suck.
I think he wants to distance himself from that word and make sure the movie stands on it's own merits.
NOW, before everyone starts going insane again, THIS DOES NOT MEAN PROMETHEUS IS UNRELATED TO ALIEN. It's only stating that it isn't a prequel. MAYBE, he means that the film does not lead up to the events with the crew of the Nostromo, but instead tells about a different encounter with the Space Jockey/Aliens with ANOTHER crew.
This sci-fi's top secret
Sworn to secrecy: Actor Idris Elba will star in Ridley Scott's latest film, in which the script has been a closely guarded secret
Sworn to secrecy: Actor Idris Elba will star in Ridley Scott's latest film, in which the script has been a closely guarded secret
Ridley Scott told me he has gone to extraordinary lengths to keep the script of his new epic science fiction film from leaking out.
His ensemble cast, which includes Oscar- winning Charlize Theron and hot actors Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba, Sean Harris and Kate Dickie, not only had to sign secrecy clauses, but were only allowed to read the story if they visited Ridley's production office. (One exception was made, when a security courier flew to an actor's foreign location and stood guard for two hours while the screenplay was perused.)
'I was insistent that the script not leak onto the internet, where it gets dissected out of context, which spoils it for everyone,' Ridley told me during cocktails at a pre-Oscar tribute to Harvey Weinstein, hosted by Dior at the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard.
The film's called Prometheus and starts filming in three weeks. The director behind Alien, Gladiator, Thelma And Louise and Black Rain did, however, confirm that it is a science fiction thriller.
'It's the story of creation, the gods and the man who stood against them. It's not a small film,' Ridley joked.
'I'm using the giant James Bond 007 stage at Pinewood and six other sound stages to film it,' he added.
Prometheus, Ridley declared, was not — as some have suggested — a prequel to his classic sci-fi shocker Alien. But he refused to divulge more.
Indeed, one of his actors told me that he could recite the entire screenplay to me — but then he'd have to wrestle me to the ground and, this was related in the nicest possible way, 'kill me'.
Fassbender will arrive on set direct from filming Shame in New York for director Steve McQueen, who made the fantastic drama Hunger.
Rapace created the part of Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and its sequels.
Kate Dickie was stunning in Andrea Arnold's movie Red Road, and Sean Harris has emerged as an ace character actor after stonking roles in the Channel 4 adaptation of David Peace's Red Riding crime stories and Rowan Joffe's recent Brighton Rock picture.
