Ubi Reveals Beowulf Voice Talent News
Winstone, Hopkins, and Co. confirmed for likenesses and voice talent in Ubisoft's upcoming adaptation...
By Jon WilcoxPosted: 24/10/2007
Ubisoft has today confirmed the line up of voice talent for the publisher's upcoming adaptation of Robert Zemeckis' movie, Beowulf.
Playing the titular character in both the movie and the videogame is Ray Winstone, joined by Anthony Hopkins as King Hrothgar, and Brendon Gleeson as Wiglaf. Largely set in the 'missing' thirty-year period described in the movie, based on the epic Old English poem, Beowulf has been in development by Ubisoft's Tiwak studio in Montpelier, the team behind Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter.
"This is the first time I've worked on a video game, and I must say it was one of the hardest working days of my career," confessed Ray Winstone after the recording sessions for the Ubisoft production. "But it was vital to capturing the power of the film and translating that into a great gaming experience. Beowulf is a brutal character, a Dark Age-gangster with both hero and monster in him ... as a player, I can identify with the monster slayer."
"These performances stir us like a great soundtrack does - you get shivers. The starring actors lend authenticity and intensity to The Beowulf video game experience, something that was indispensable in order for us to extend the story beyond the movie," said Gabrielle Shrager, writer and lead story designer for the Beowulf video game. "The actors seamlessly translated their characters' depth and emotion, breathing life into their video game roles as they did for the film."
Beowulf: The Game is due for release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and PSP in November.

So anybody intrigued by Beowulf, I think the movie looks pretty good, but I'm hoping the videogame is more appealing than the generic button basher it appears to be.
