Can U Dig It?
The Wall Street Journal today reports on upcoming video games based on darker, grittier fare.
Electronic Arts will release "The Godfather" in November. Robert Duvall, James Caan, and Marlon Brando contributed their voices and likenesses to the game.
Vivendi Universal is working on a game based on "Scarface."
Warner Brothers Interactive has tapped Clint Eastwood to reprise his role as Dirty Harry Callahan for a title under development.
Take-Two Software Inc. is creating a game version of 1979's "The Warriors." (Note to Take Two: I do a pretty bad "Warriors! Come out and play-ay!" if David Patrick Kelly is busy. ) The company also plans to publish a game based on "Reservoir Dogs."
Majesco Entertainment Co. is considering making a game based on "Taxi Driver."

Umm, it must have been a real bitch getting Brando's permission.
Ouija anyone?

I believe they recorded Brando's voice work for the game last year, not long before his death. So no Ouija board necessary, although it still may very well have been a bitch getting him to agree to it.

From what I've been reading they are planning on samples from the original films, but I couldn't resist the chance to be a smartass.
