In the hush-hush world of director Ridley Scott‘s forthcoming sci-fi epic Prometheus, we haven’t been surprised by the completely vague story details coming out of the 20th Century Fox production. Sure, there have been small bits of story detail from Scott himself, writer Damon Lindelof and cast members like Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron, but everything has been either somewhat trivial, somewhat vague, or both.
Now, according to the Scottish Daily Star (via AVP Galaxy) we find that actress Kate Dickie (Game of Thrones) who portrays Mudow, a crew member of the spaceship Prometheus has allegedly spilled some rather important details about the up coming film.

“A Scots actress is hoping a new big-budget sci-fi movie will make her a star even though she lasts just 28 minutes before an alien eats her.
Kate Dickie, 40, appears in the prequel to the smash-hit Alien franchise as part of a star-studded line-up which includes Charlize Theron, Idris Elba and Michael Fassbender. They play a team of explorers who discover a clue to the origins of mankind, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe.
There they meet a terrifying host of vicious, skeletal alien monstrosities which chase the crew through the halls of their spaceship Prometheus. The film is set before director Ridley Scott’s 1979 masterpiece Alien, which starred Sigourney Weaver and took $185 million (£120m).
East Kilbride-born mother-of-one Kate, who has appeared in Taggart and won a BAFTA for a role in the hard-hitting film Red Road, said “You can get caught up in all that stuff. I don’t feel any pressure. I just get on with the job at hand”
The brunette dyed her hair blonde for the flick which is shaping up as the biggest box-office draw of 2012. Kate plays a tough first officer called Mudow, who needs to help her fellow crew members become acclimatised to their removal from cryo-sleep after a long space journey which ends on an apparently barren planet.
With their muscles wasted from five years without use, she helps them to get fit – only for them to fall victims to horrible creatures that begin stalking them for food. While all cast are under a vow of silence until the movie’s release on June 1, it is known from director Scott’s hints that Prometheus‘ ending will tie in with the beginning of the first Alien film.”
Synopsis:
“Ridley Scott, director of “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
