Neeson Comes To Regulate.
Pulled this off of a random website, enjoy!
Liam Neeson, star of Schindler's List and Rob Roy, has been brought on to voice a major character in the new role-playing game, Fallout 3, to be published by Bethesda Softworks. The popular franchise will find Liam Neeson voicing the player's father and is expected to come out for PC and next-generation consoles. No specific platforms for Fallout 3 have been announced and no release date has been confirmed. Bethesda acquired the rights for Fallout 3 from Interplay.
According to Reuters, Fallout 3 will be set in a violent postapocalyptic world filled with mutants, radiation, and gang warfare. The Fallout games have been very popular PC games for years and had a version on Playstation 2 and XBox called Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.
Bethesda has made headlines for the very successful Oblivion: The Elder Scrolls IV, a game that was huge on XBox 360 and PC since last fall and recently shipped for Playstation 3. That game, Oblivion: The Elder Scrolls IV, featured voice work from Patrick Stewart, Lynda Carter, Sean Bean, and Terence Stamp.
The Liam Neeson character in Fallout 3 isn't just a "for hire" gig because the character in the game was actually written with the actor in mind and, according to Reuters, provides the dramatic foundation for the entire Fallout 3 experience. Liam Neeson said, "It's been a pleasure bringing the father to life and working with the wonderfully talented people at Bethesda on Fallout 3. I hope the fans of the franchise and the game will be excited by the results."
This isn't the first time that Liam Neeson has worked on a game, going behind the mic for Electronic Arts and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for his character in Batman Begins. That game featured the likeness of Liam Neeson and his voice acting, along with the majority of the cast from the Christopher Nolan film. Bethesda also recently worked with Johnny Depp on an original game that shipped last year called Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow.
Liam Neeson has been acting in film for three decades now, starring in Excalibur and Krull in his early career, but his breakthrough was Darkman in 1990. Since then, Liam Neeson has appeared in Under Suspicion, Husbands and Wives, Leap of Faith, Schindler's List. Nell, Rob Roy, Michael Collins, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, The Haunting, Gangs of New York, Love Actually, Kinsey, Kingdom of Heaven, Batman Begins, Seraphim Falls, and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Liam Neeson is currently working on that smash film's follow-up, Prince Caspian, and Taken with Lost's Maggie Grace. Liam Neeson will then play the lead in Steven Spielberg's Lincoln.
