Konami Reveals Full Voice Cast for Hellboy The
Science of Evil
Hollywood Standouts Selma Blair and Doug Jones
Join Ron Perlman in Video Game Adaptation of Hit Entertainment Property
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today
revealed the full voice cast for Hellboy The Science of Evil (working title),
its upcoming video game adaptation of the smash hit entertainment property for
the Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and PSP. In addition to Ron Perlman, who portrayed
Hellboy in the 2004 feature film, Selma Blair and Doug Jones will reprise their
roles from the motion picture as Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien to lend their voices
to the game.
As Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien, respectively,
Selma Blair and Doug Jones created enduring identities for their characters in
the popular 2004 Hellboy feature film as they battled alongside Ron Perlman’s
imposing portrayal of the crimson-skinned warrior. Featured prominently in some
of the most successful films of the last 10 years, Blair is well known for her
roles in Legally Blonde and Cruel Intentions, while Jones recently lent his
talents to the Academy Award-winning Pan’s Labyrinth and Adaptation.
"With voice acting from Ron Perlman, Selma Blair
and Doug Jones, and creative guidance from director Guillermo del Toro and
Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, Hellboy The Science of Evil is shaping up to be
one of the most faithful video game adaptations of an entertainment property of
all-time," said Brian Christian, Vice President of Product Development at Konami
Digital Entertainment, Inc. "Drawing from the mythology of both the comic books
and the motion picture, we are able to tell an original story featuring all the
characters, settings and visceral gameplay that fans could ever ask for in a
Hellboy game."
Hellboy The Science of Evil lets players take
control of Hellboy’s incredible supernatural powers as they battle to overcome a
terrible Nazi scheme. Wielding the massive Right Hand of Doom, players will be
able to wreak havoc on both the enemies that stand in the way as well as the
game’s detailed levels, using the rubble they leave in their wake as weapons for
even more bone crushing power. With the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 versions of
the game, players will be able to team up with a friend to battle through the
game cooperatively via online play as a number of characters from the Hellboy
universe, each with their own unique fighting style.
Developed by Krome Studios, Hellboy The Science
of Evil is planned for release on the Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 system and PSP
system this fall. For more information on the game, please visit:
