"Ridley Scott has dismissed comparisons between Prometheus and Alien.  Scott stated that his 1979 sci-fi classic is very different to the upcoming Prometheus, although he has previously stated that the two films do occupy the same general universe.  Speaking to Total Film, Scott said: &amp;quot;Are there parallels to be drawn? No. The dynamics are entirely different.&amp;quot; Meanwhile, the film&amp;#039;s star Noomi Rapace suggested that there are similarities between her character and Alien&amp;#039;s heroine Ripley (Sigourney Weaver).  Rapace commented: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d say, yes, there are similarities, though I think my character is a bit more feminine, maybe. &amp;quot;My character and Dr Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) are the ones who discover something on Earth that gives us the last possible piece to go out on this journey.  &amp;quot;So, I&amp;#039;m carrying more on a personal level than [Ripley] did.&amp;quot; Scott said yesterday that he is determined for the film to be a box office success, and may pursue a PG-13 rating in the US in order to achieve this, in contrast to Alien&amp;#039;s R rating. Prometheus will open in the UK on June 1, and the US on June 8.  Watch a trailer for Prometheus below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
