‘Devil’ Star Falls for Repace in ‘Prometheus’
I love when a project is shrouded in mystery, thus I truly hope Twentieth Century Fox can contain the true elements surrounding Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, the quasi-Alien prequel starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, and Rafe Spall.
Deadline reports this afternoon that Devil star Logan Marshall-Green has landed a role in the science fiction film that Scott next directs. He will play the role of Holloway, a crewman on the space ship and the love interest for the character played by Noomi Rapace. This was a role that a lot of young actors chased…
The original script was by Jonathan Spaihts, but the most recent draft is by Damon Lindelof (“Lost”). Shooting begins shortly in the UK.

Two-time BAFTA winning filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna, “Black Mirror“) is set to direct the feature adaptation of post-apocalyptic thriller novel, Juice, Deadline reports today.
Emmy winner Abi Morgan (Shame, “Eric”) will adapt Tim Winton‘s novel for Working Title Films.
In Juice, “A young husband and father is recruited into a top-secret resistance organization, to join the ranks of militia men tasked with targeting the isolated and wealthy culprits responsible for this global catastrophe. When a mission goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, having to fight to the end to survive in this hostile world.”
It’s set in a world ravaged by climate-change disaster.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Tim Winton has entrusted us with his extraordinary epic,” Wright told Deadline. “The story is both a thrilling modern family saga and an urgent call to action. I cannot wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen.”
Winton added, “I’m pleased to know a filmmaker of Joe Wright’s calibre has chosen to adapt Juice for the screen. His capacity to portray the turmoil and the turning points of nations and peoples as well as private individuals distinguishes his work as a director and I’m confident that Juice is in good hands.”
Juice was initially published in October 2024 and longlisted for The Climate Fiction Prize 2026.
