LOS
ANGELES (April 21, 2005) – Vivendi Universal Games today announced
that several high profile actors are lending their likeness and voice
talent to the upcoming adaptation of Scarface,
Hollywood’s underworld masterpiece. Scarface:
The World is Yours, set for release this Fall, will capture
the ruthlessness, intelligence and thrill of being the one and only Tony
Montana, forced to carve out his drug empire for the second time.
The game will be shown publicly for the first time at the Electronic
Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles on May 18th.
Ensuring
an authentic videogame experience of the movie, film actor Al Pacino has
lent his likeness to the game, assuring that players will embark on a
journey that delivers the essence and soul of the Scarface
mythology. The game’s roster of voice actors also includes
original Scarface cast
members Steven Bauer and Robert Loggia (who played Manny Ray and Frank
Lopez respectively), comedians Jay Mohr and Cheech Marin, and actors
James Woods,
Miguel
Sandoval, Robert Davi, Michael Rappaport and Michael York.
"Al
Pacino brought the character of Tony Montana to life onscreen in a very
powerful way, and the inclusion of his likeness as Tony Montana is a
critical component to the authenticity of the
Scarface game experience," said Cindy Cook, Chief
Strategy and Marketing Officer for VU Games. “We are also
thrilled to have other top-notch talent involved with Scarface:
The World is Yours, as their participation will add further
