Anne Hathaway and James Franco (currently starring in Fox’s Rise of the Apes) could be donning the space suits and avoiding those face-huggers in the Damon Lindelof-penned origin tale.

They’ll no doubt be more young Hollywood names being bandied around in the coming weeks as the production gathers momentum, but the pairing of these two sounds like a solid choice.
