Turok gets Hollywood talent News
Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Disney has named the Hollywood stars picked to lend their vocals to characters in the upcoming Turok game.
Among the better known of the line-up are Timothy Olyphant, currently playing the role of Agent 47 in the Hitman film, and Wahlberg sibling Donnie, who played the angry father who was also a policeman in Saw II.
There's also the fabulously named Powers Boothe from Deadwood, 24, and Sin City, as well as William Fichtner most recently in Prison Break as FBI chap Alexander Mahone.
"The actors who lent their voices to Turok are a testament to both the magnitude of the project and the interest of top-notch talent," said Josh Holmes, big cheese at developer Propaganda Games.
"The characters in the story are paramount to the experience and we have assembled an outstanding cast to assure high quality performances across the board."
Turok is a first-person shooter based around Joseph Turok and his elite special forces gang, who've been sent to a different planet to track down bad guy Roland Kane. However, the spaceship transporting the fancy fighters is soon shot down, leaving the group stranded in the dinosaur-populated world.
The full version is due out on 360 and PS3 next February.
A cast list can be found below.

- Joseph Turok - Gegory Norman Cruz

Grey as a mouse,
Big as a house, Nose like a snake, I make the earth shake, As I tramp through the grass; Trees crack as I pass. With horns in my mouth I walk in the South, Flapping big ears. Beyond count of years I stump round and round, Never lie on the ground, Not even to die. Olyphaunt am I, Biggest of all, Huge, old, and tall. If ever you'd met me You wouldn't forget me. If you never do, You won't think I'm true; But old Olyphaunt am I, And I never lie, beeyatch. |

"Disney?
What capacity are they involved in this games development? I can't see them being behind an ultra violent dinosaur shoot-em-up... " The publisher of Turok, Touchstone, are a part of the Disney group. Its that sort of initial reaction, M83J01P97, that the move was aimed to avoid the discrediting of the game on sight. The developer, Propaganda Games, was set the task of helping to broaden the appeal of the companys games, by reaching out to new audiences. Anyway, the part of Turok I'm most keen to find out about is the BGM. That will help give me the best impression of the type of game on offer. |

Sheesh, how can you not mention Ron Perlman? Timothy Olyphaunt, famous solely for being cast as a bald man without a personality in a film that's not out yet, is described as the biggest star on the list?
As opposed to Ron, who - even if we ignore the fact that he's Hellboy - has an acting career that stretches back to getting burned at the stake in the Name of the Rose in 1986. OK, I'm getting too het up about this, aren't I? |

The game looks and sounds like GOW with dinosaurs. now that could be a good thing, and then again not. am i alone in thinking this game should have been similar to the original turok, or its sequel seeds of evil? i just pray this game is a massive improvement on the last game, because that was the biggest pile of dino shit EVER!!!

I'm sad to see that all the native American pseudo-mystical stuff seems to be gone. In the original Turok, that was the whole vibe of the game - made it interesting to me.

And being the bad guy in Die Hard 4, or even more so, played Seth Bullock in the amazing Deadwood, one of the best TV shows ever. Where Powers Boothe also played Cy Tolliver. |

"Timothy Olyphant is one of the main characters in Deadwood and played the bad guy in Die Hard 4."
Deadwood you can have. The other half of your comment... I rest my case. Look at Good Ol' Ron's IMDB page. Now there's an actor who knows graft. Never turn a script down.
