from the film provide voiceover work for the different versions of the video
game,” said Patrick Naud, executive producer for James Cameron’s Avatar: The
Game. "Having the characters from the film voiced by the actors that portrayed
them appear in the game adds a level of authenticity you just can’t get any
other way.”
