The upcoming film by director Ridley Scott, who had a breakthrough with the science-fiction horror film Alien, is going to be the sequel to the director's divisive Alien prequel and spin-off of Prometheus that was released in 2012 - Alien: Paradise Lost.

The sequel to the science fiction film, will follow the human scientist Elizabeth Shaw played by the Swedish actress - Noomi Rapace and the  German-Irish actor - Michael Fassbender as the android David, on an act of traveling in the world of the Engineers - the puzzling extraterrestrials who are the primary cause for creating humanity. Recently, director Ridley Scott confirmed that Elizabeth Shaw and android David will cross paths with other "travelers" early on their exploration.

Director Ridley Scott said, "It's going to be its own separate thing because they are going to the planet of the Engineers and they are going to see what transpired there. It was a catastrophe," Scott also said, "And they will be in that alien craft that takes them there, but with a new group that's incoming, a new group of travelers in the beginning of the first act."

The most recent script drafted by Michael Green (the writer known for 2011's Green Lantern) drawn from the older draft by Jake Paglen - calls for additional characters to be filled in the film. Where Rebecca Ferguson the breakout star of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, is under early consideration for one particular key role.

The screenplay of the Alien: Paradise Lost that was recently delivered to director Ridley Scott and the executives of 20th Century Fox has been well-received, it boasts "a peach of a major female role" that the lead role as Elizabeth Woodville in The White Queen - Rebecca Ferguson is under consideration for.

However, the Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson's formal talks with the production haven't started yet, and Rebecca Ferguson is currently in talks to costar with Michael Fassbender in the The Snowman - the flick which is slated to start the production in January 2016.
