Simon Pegg, John Cleese, and Academy Award winner Sir Ben Kingsley headline this October‘s revolutionary action-adventure experience in Fable 3.
It takes a village, so goes the popular adage, and never has this been truer than in Fable 3. As you embark on your own revolution to seize the throne from an evil tyrant you‘ll be flanked by a supporting cast that features some of Hollywood‘s most renowned talent, with film accomplishments that include “œMonty Python,“ “œStar Trek,“ “œHarry Potter,“ “œThe Lord of the Rings,“ “œPirates of the Caribbean,“ “œAlice in Wonderland,“ and the upcoming “œX-Men: First Class.“
Available today, the latest installment to the popular “œInside Lionhead“ video documentary series features the talented cast, including Sir Ben Kingsley, Michael Fassbender, Simon Pegg and more, as they reflect back on their experiences working on Fable 3. From topics such as Sir Ben Kingsley picking up a Welsh accent to how Michael Fassbender prepared to take on a villain‘s role in his first video game voiceover project, watch what happens when the star-studded cast applies their craft to Fable 3 – this October‘s most anticipated title.
The “˜Fable‘ franchise has always been recognised for its unique take on drama, morality, and of course, humor,“ said Yvette van Rooyen, Xbox Product and Marketing Manager for Microsoft South Africa. “œWe‘re taking this to the limits in Fable 3 by bringing on a star-studded cast that includes Sir Ben Kingsley, John Cleese and Simon Pegg, who truly understand what it takes to bring characters to life in complex ways and add new dimensions of blockbuster entertainment.
“œThis is my first experience voicing a video game, so what drew me to it was the team, how committed they are, how well organized everything is and how beautiful the game is,“ said Sir Ben Kingsley in the video documentary. “œOne of the things that‘s missing from a lot of video games is good writing and good voice work. I think this one has a wonderful mythology and it‘s witty and it‘s engrossing,“ added Simon Pegg in the video documentary.
