Although filming has begun on Ridley Scott's upcoming Sci-Fi thriller Prometheus, that hasn't stopped the director from adding another high profile actor to his production. Patrick Wilson (Watchmen) recently did an interview with TampaBay.com for his upcoming CBS series "A Gifted Man" where the site revealed the following:

"Wilson will need to leverage everything he’s learned from Shorecrest [Wilson's hometown] to a new role in the highly anticipated Alien prequel Prometheus (directed by original Alien auteur Ridley Scott) for his latest challenge."

Scott's Alien prequel (or not) already has a great cast that includes Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class), Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), Idris Elba, and Guy Pearce. Not much is known about the role Wilson will play or the plot of the film itself but it's Ridley Scott returning to the genre he made famous all those years back so I trust that the film will be amazing regardless. Prometheus will hit theater in 3D on June 8, 2012.

A Gifted Man, Wilson's new series premieres on September 23rd.
