Max Payne Producer Working with 3D Realms on Duke Nukem Movie

6:00AM Kotaku US Edition | By: John Gaudiosi LOS ANGELES, CA–A pair of new console games isn’t the only thing cooking for the classic 3D shooter franchise, Duke Nukem. Hollywood producer Scott Faye, who’s readying Max Payne for its October 17th release, is working with 3D Realms’ Scott Miller on a Duke Nukem movie. “I’m working diligently at making a Duke Nukem movie scenario that will live up to the character and its import in the videogame world,” said Faye. “As is the case with all of my game adaptations, I’d rather not make the movie than make a poor adaptation.” Faye stuck with that strategy with Max Payne – a game he first saw at E3 in Atlanta and made a verbal commitment to Miller to one day bring it to the big screen. Over 10 years and a couple movie studios later, the movie is hitting theatres with Mark Wahlberg in the starring role. “With the two new games coming out based on Duke Nukem, I’m working at establishing a Duke film scenario that will compel a studio to finance a feature version,” said Faye. “Certainly, there’s a large audience that knows and loves this character.” More »

Duke Nukem Voice Actor Harasses People In Duke’s Voice

3:00AM Brian Ashcraft | If you could do the Duke Nukem voice, like really do it really well, you’d probably call people and say things like “Blow it out your ass”. Well, that’s pretty much what the voice actor behind Duke Nukem Jon St. John does! According to John: I often have friends ask me to place a call to some unsuspecting victim and get medieval on their asses in the Duke voice. I once called a radio morning show on the east coast and harassed the DJ’s in Duke’s voice…they had recorded the call and ended up using parts of the call over and over again on station promos! And hey, Jon St. John will even record stuff just for you. Well, if you pay him money. For fifty bucks, he’ll happily record a message up to 30 seconds in any audio format. And he has “no issues with profanity”. That’s good. An Interview with Duke Nukem – Balls of Steel [ZERGWatch via VGB] [Pic] More »
