Q: First of all, thank you very much for taking time and talking to us... It was a fantastic trailer! It was amazing... Sir Ridley, my first question is for you: the film community was very excited about your return to the science-fiction genre, what made this the right time and what made "Prometheus" the right film for your return?

Ridley: I worked continuously and I knew that a science-fiction was long of the DEW and my mind was always coming up there, outside the track, thinking of what could that be... And I have an inkling of a notion which evolved... For the first I called John Spades, and then, after that, I think, nearly a year, I felt we gonna whole nine yards and that's why I came to Damon, and then went to the next face… But there was no signal that "now is the time," it just felt it's something I should do...

Q: You gave some of the most iconic characters in film history: everyone from Ripley in "Alien" to Maximus in "Gladiator" to Decker in "Blade Runner"... can we expect the character from "Prometheus" to join those rank?

Ridley: Yeah, I think, there's a few of them in here... It's a very nice ensemble cast with Noomi Rapace from "Girl with the Dragon Tatoo", this is Michael Fassbender who plays pretty defined and definitive version of... er... I have to use the word, I guess he's "a robot" or whatever he want to use... But he did the MOST he could possibly do with that... So becomes pretty defined... Yeah, I think these are great characters in this piece...

Q: Damon, this question is for you... You've known for creating the most exciting science fiction stories in recent memory with your work on LOST and the new Star Trek film, what was it about Prometheus that made you say: "I've got to be involved with this project?"

Damon: Very simply – it was Ridley. I think that one of the reasons that I wanted to do this for a living was because this was a film that Ridley Scott made and so the idea that I would be in the situation where I could sit across the table for him, talk to him about storytelling and learn from him… Really, if he just said that he wanted to make a movie about history of bread I would have said: "It's fascinating to me!" Then it happened to be a science-fiction movie, and he was returning to the genre that he, essentially, shaped and defined over 25 years ago, how could I possible pass that up? And I think what separates Prometheus from some of the stuff that I've done...

You know, I loved Star Trek, but it's a future, that's very fun and adventurous and action-packed – it's totally and entirely different thing than this... I think Ridley really wanted to tell us a story that was about something very-very wretched and dramatic, and deep and that was scaring to me and challenging... I'm at the point of life now when I'm trying to do things what's frightening, where I could totally fail... That was an offer I couldn't refuse... And would happily do again, again and again...
