"Michael Fassbender has said that he hopes Prometheus stands up to Alien. The upcoming Ridley Scott movie is set in the same universe as his 1979 science fiction horror classic which spawned three sequels and two Predator crossovers.  Fassbender told Elle of the new movie: &amp;quot;I hope it stands up against Alien. &amp;quot;Ridley&amp;#039;s amazing, such a nice guy too, there&amp;#039;s a real energy and youth to him.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;A lot of these directors have a wicked sense of humour. [David] Cronenberg was the same. He spent all the time taking the p*ss.&amp;quot; Of his immediate career plans, Fassbender said: &amp;quot;I consciously stopped [making movies] last year. There&amp;#039;s so much of me out there at the moment, I wanted to back off a bit. It&amp;#039;s like overkill.&amp;quot; Regarding how taking time out may affect his &amp;#039;man of the moment&amp;#039; status, he added: &amp;quot;That isn&amp;#039;t the part that excites me. &amp;quot;It is kind of bizarre rather than fun. I was excited a year ago, when I was working on those films.&amp;quot; Watch the latest trailer for Prometheus below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
