The actor also commented on how it felt to be working with Scott again, [Since 2007's American Gangster] and specifically commented on the involvement of special effects in Prometheus:


"There’s a fair amount of special effects in this film, yeah. But, with Ridley, he actually prefers to do it for real. Real locations, real sets, which is really a treat for us actors."

Michael Fassbender while recently promoting X-Men: First Class also gave snippets of info to different sources on Prometheus. The Irish actor told The Shortlist:


"You won’t be disappointed. I remember when they said they were going to do another Alien, I just thought, ‘Where can you go with that?’ Then they sent the script — I kept wondering, ‘When is this going to get bad?’ and it never did."

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal the actor commented the process of working with Scott:


"He’s very mischievous and he’s very free and it’s a very liberating process working with him because he lets you come up with an idea and run with it. He’s open to any ideas you come up with and he will let you rewrite scenes or let you change a scene if he thinks they work. He’s so precise; he’s a legend, a real master of his craft. His attention to detail is amazing to watch, down to the props you are using, the set design as well as your character. He’s got an enormous amount of energy and enthusiasm. It’s like a master class everyday being on set with him."

Also in an interview with British station Absolute Radio Fassbender commented on the cast and the breathtaking sets:
