Noomi on fire

So, Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus.” It seems only smart to spend a few words up front here talking about how great this movie looks. While we have not been the biggest fans of Mr. Scott’s for quite some time (blame the fact that he can’t seem to make a money that takes place after 1600 or star Russell Crowe), there hasn’t been a single trailer, shot or actor choice that has made us fear this movie is going to be bad. (Unlike, say, the upcoming new “The Dark Knight Rises,” which we’re still a bit skeptical on for some weird murky reason. It simply looks amazing. And, while a lot of the “hey, look at how hot this gal is in the trailer” talk is pointed in the direction of Charlize Theron (for good reason) we need to give Noomi Rapace (known best for her starring role in the original “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” trilogy) some more credit. So let’s do that today, with a gallery of the lovely Ms. Rapace.
