Noomi Rapace: Elizabeth Shaw is tougher than Salander
According to Swedish newspaper Expressen, Noomi Rapace has been dropping a few tiny hints about her part in Prometheus to Entertainment Weekly.
Rapace says that her role as Elizabeth Shaw will be the most physically demanding ever.
"This role will be tougher than Lisbeth Salander"
Her part as Lisbeth Salander in Stieg Larsson's Millenium series (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest) earned her worldwide fame, but she still has a hard time taking in all the fame.
"It's a bit unreal. I'm doing something I would never have dreamed of a year ago"
She adds that Prometheus is ever more demanding than the Millenium series.
"People think Lisbeth Salander was very physical, but there were only a few fighting scenes."
Noomi is now in hard physical training for her part in Prometheus.
"I want to transform my body into something like a cat or a lion. One minute they're resting quietly, and then they can suddenly explode into action. I want to feel like whatever happens I'm prepared"
