Ben Foster joining Ridley Scott's Prometheus?

_*Prometheus*_*, Ridley Scott's sorta-prequel to _Alien_, is shaping
up to be one of the most exciting movies in production, and there's a
rumour doing the rounds at JoBlo that Ben Foster has joined the cast.*

The film already boasts a raft of talented actors, including Noomi
Rapace, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba and Michael Fassbender.

Foster is something of a divisive actor, with his ker-ay-zee schtick
proving a bit wearing at times. His presence could also bring back
unwelcome memories of substandard space shocker _Pandorum_.

_Prometheus_ has also been given an official synopsis, which is
possibly the most vague blurb of its kind ever seen.

The virtually detail-free summary goes as follow:

"Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped
define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most
dangerous corners of the universe.

"The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling
journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand
them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our
most profound questions and to life’s ultimate mystery."

_Prometheus_ is due to land in cinemas on 1 June 2012, and is a rare
release that we're actively excited about seeing in 3D.
