Patrick Wilson talks Prometheus

A report back in August seemed to reveal that Patrick Wilson had joined the cast of Prometheus, but we haven't heard anything else until now. Thankfully, Wilson was more than happy to confirm his involvement in the film in a recent interview.

Of course, there is no spilling of plot details here, but he talked with MTV News about the script and the scope of his role:

"It was an absolute thrill... I was blown away by [the script] and I don’t use that sort of phrase a lot, but I was blown away by it, so excited that I wanted to read it again. I just kept re-reading it, even though I knew what was coming. And put it this way, I’ve never done this, I've never finished the shooting on a movie, and then on the ride home read the script again. I had no reason to read it, it was not work-oriented, I just really loved it, it’s so cool."

"There is an importance to my character, certainly size [of the role] was not the issue... It's an exciting, thrilling script, so to be a part of it on any level, I said ‘Yes, just tell me where you want me to be, I will be there.’ It was great. It was nice to come in just as they were finishing shooting, just to play a little bit."

Prometheus is scheduled for release on June 8th, 2012 and stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Ben Foster (rumored) and Guy Pearce.
