Arterton in 'Alien' talks

Ridley Scott has approached Gemma Arterton about starring in the ‘Alien’ prequels.

The 24-year-old actress admitted he has requested a meeting with her to discuss her starring in the project after he saw ‘The Disappearance of Alice Creed’ and thought she would be perfect for a leading role in the movie, which has previously starred Sigourney Weaver.
