Modern Warfare voice actors' loose lips dish details on additional projects.
Infinity Ward may be planning a few surprise Call of Duty projects, but the series' voice actors seem determined to spoil any surprises. Last week,
That VideoGame Blog reported that actor Craig Fairbrass, the voice of Simon "Ghost" Riley, mentioned at a UK launch event for
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 that
Infinity Ward is considering making a spin-off "little game" featuring his character to go along with the already-published comic book.
Today, actor Kevin McKidd, voice of Soap MacTavish,
revealed to the New York Post that a Modern Warfare film is being considered. "I had no idea [Modern Warfare] would be so huge, and now there are talks of a feature film," McKidd told the New York Post. As a funny side note, when the New York Post asked McKidd if he would like to play Soap in the prospective film, he replied, "if the script is good, and Gerard [Butler] isn't available, then absolutely."
Tyler says: I'd say both of these actors are shedding a little truth on their subjects. For the Ghost "little game," that Fairbass mentioned, that sounds to me like a non-gamer trying to explain what DLC is. Infinity Ward has gone on record saying that it wants to provide DLC for MW2 other than map packs, so I could definitely see a few campaign or Spec Ops missions coming our way.
As far as the movie goes, I say, "duh!" Not that I think it'll be any good, just that of course they're going to make a Modern Warfare movie. I mean come on, isn't there a
Guitar Hero movie in the works? Why would they
not make a Modern Warfare film? (Answering "because it would suck" does not count.)
