The actor behind Resident Evil: Afterlife’s Chris Redfield isn’t a gamer, so how did Prison Break’s Wentworth Miller prepare to play this iconic character? With a montage – a Chris Redfield montage.
We know what the television show Prison Break looks like, but what about the video game adaptation of said show? Take a look-see.
An advertisement in the recently released season DVD box set for the Fox television series Prison Break confirms that there is indeed a game based on the show coming out in February for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Brash Entertainment, known for their movie adaptations like Jumper and Alvin and the Chipmunks, are working on the title. Kotaku first learned about the possibility of a Prison Break game during an interview last November with Robert Knepper, who plays T-Bag on the series. “I don’t think it’s quite done, but I heard that on the wind last year that they were trying to do it”, said Knepper. “You know the whole thing with an escape, they were working on a videogame where you plot your own escape from prison”.

The R-rated Hitman made a respectable $US 21 million over the Thanksgiving weekend, facing off against heavy competition from Disney’s Enchanted and Paramount’s Beowulf, both of which were aimed at families. Robert Knepper, who’s best known as T-Bag on Fox’s “Prison Break,” plays Russian chief agent Yuri Marklov in 20th Century Fox’s Hitman movie.
In fact, it was his work in “Prison Break” that sealed the deal, because his first audition was bad and he sent in a tape afterward that got him another look. When director Xavier Gens saw it was T-Bag, he said Knepper had to be in the movie. But with just two weeks to go from southern pedophile to Russian agent, Knepper had no idea Hitman was a videogame.
“Fox eventually told me about the Hitman videogame, but I read the script and I honestly felt like I didn’t need to see the game,” said Knepper. “I didn’t need to know anything about the videogame because everything that I felt as an actor that I needed to know about the story was in the script. It had a great beginning, middle and end, it had a great conflict, a great hero, and a great anti-hero.”
