Sunday Comics: Dead Island Hollywood and games still seem to be figuring each other out — like two butt sniffing dogs. Sure, big name actors do game voice and mo-cap work (and have for a while now), but in the past, the two worlds have seemed very, very separate. As more big name talent and big name writers and big name directors get involved with game, the division seems to be rapidly eroding away. And let’s not forget how gaming is eclipsing movies are the form of mass entertainment. Still, maybe actors have second thoughts about doing game work? Says Live Free or Die Hard‘s Maggie Q, who stars in game Need for Speed: Undercover:
Since Gemma Atkinson’s inclusion in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is going over so well, it makes sense that EA has tapped (not in the biblical sense) another international sex symbol to give the next installment of the Need for Speed series a kick. Maggie Q, who took the role of extremely attractive woman in Mission Impossible III and Live Free or Die Hard, will be starring in Need For Speed Undercover as Federal Agent Chase Linh, a “seductive handler” who recruits the player to go undercover in a seedy crime syndicate.
“I’ve always been a fan of racing games and working on Need for Speed Undercover was an amazing experience,” said Maggie Q. “I was so impressed by the scope and quality of the overall production that goes into a videogame these days. It was like any other day on a Hollywood set; I felt right at home. The Black Box team is doing tremendous work here and I can’t wait to see the final game.”
