TheReelBits website have a new interview up with actor Logan Marshall-Green who plays Holloway in Prometheus. There’s no major spoilers or anything but he does talk at length about his experiences filming on set.
What can you tell us about your character?
I play Charlie Holloway, who is a scientist and the love interest of Elizabeth Shaw, Noomi Rapace's character. They are a team. If she's the brains, he's the legs. I wouldn't go so far to say muscle, but he's the legs. He's the one who leaps before he looks, and sometimes it hurts them as a team but a lot of the times it's helped them. He takes a lot of chances and so far so good. This mission is one of the chances. The beautiful part is Noomi and I are teamed, but we actually differ in our philosophies as to exactly what we want or what we believe. She's the believer. I'm the scientist. I'm the skeptic. I'm the atheist, if you will. But we complete each other, for lack of a better word. We make a whole in that sense. I think its what's drawn the characters together romantically as well. It's just this kind of respect, full respect but my skepticism matched with her beliefs, her faith.
Thanks to PrometheusMovieNews.com for the tip.

he paints his character as somewhat immature, in that sense, he does sell it. doesn't mean it's a likeable character for everyone, but i know people like that so i don't doubt his performance is appropriate.

Quote from: OpenMaw on May 02, 2012, 07:07:58 PMThat aspect has bugged me since day one. His douchiness in the trailers has only made it worse.
I certainly like the relationship between Shaw and Holloway. That I've always liked.

This relationship reminds me of Blaster Master from Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Anybody see that? Blaster Master was the name shared by two characters in that film. One guy, referred to as Blaster, had down syndrome and was really strong. He carried Master, a quick thinking little person who gave him orders. Blaster was the legs, Master was the brains. Together they were known as Blaster Master. Blaster was eventually killed in the film and Master was left to fend for himself. I'll bet that Charlie Holloway will get killed and leave Shaw to fend for herself. This happens all the time in these kinds of movies.
Quote from: ThisBethesdaSea on May 03, 2012, 07:01:07 AMI heard that the egotistic psycho bit is after he has already been implanted. Oh and he doesn't write his own lines either. Though he still looks strange in the movie, straight from the start. As if he Vaselines himself down is the best way I can put it. Of course I didn't know who he was till Prometheus so he better be awesome. Just kid. :P
He hasn't come off like a pompous asshole, more like a headstrong child. I have heard no dialogue that supports the 'pompous asshole' theory.

It really doesn't. Hudson was macho, sure, but the rest of the group was calling him on it and putting him in his place constantly.
"You ever been mistaken for a man?" - Hudson
"No. Have you?" - Vasquez
"Sir, how do I get outta this chicken shit outfit?" - Hudson
"You secure that shit Hudson." - Apone
"We got nukes, knives, sharpsticks...!" - Hudson
"knock it off, Hudson!" - Apone
"Smoking or non-smoking?" - Hudson
"Just tell me what you're scanning for, private." - Gorman
"Yeah man, but it's a dry heat." - Hudson
"Knock it off, Hudson." - Apone
"Oh that's great. That's just ****ing great man. Now what the **** are we supposed to do? This is some really shit now man!" - Hudson
"You finished?" - Hicks
"What are we gonna do!?" - Hudson
"Maybe we could build a fire, sing a couple of songs, why don't we try that?!" - Burke
"Well why don't you put her in charge!?" - Hudson
"Hudson! Listen to me; Just deal with it, because i'm sick of your bullshit." - Ripley
"It ain't half fair man!" - Hudson
"Hudson give us a break!" - Vasquez
"Think of what!? We're ****ed! We're doomed!" - Hudson
"SHUT UP!" - Hicks
I'm seeing no indication anyone is telling this immature fool to shut his macho, arrogant, douche baggery up.

Ms. Cvalda, do you have an agenda here?
lol j/k ;D
Quote from: OpenMaw on May 03, 2012, 09:38:08 PMThanks for the correction! I had a feeling I was quoting him wrong. That type of dialog doesn't come naturally to me, I suppose. (ie: douche) ;DQuote from: Predaker on May 03, 2012, 09:23:45 PM

No, do it right.
"Ms. Cvalda is there some kind of agenda you aren't telling us about?"
You have to overly emphasis it!

"Ms. Vickers, is there some kind of agenda you aren't telling us about?"
That is a pretty clumsy line, considering that, um, there most definitely is an agenda. These writers really need to work on their foreshadowing. ;)

Also, putting every keyword of your post in bold and with an underline doesn't really sell what you're trying to say; kinda over emphasizes it.

Maybe we're not supposed to like Logan's character?
