Fable III boasts Hollywood all-star voice cast

29 September 2010

Simon Pegg, John Cleese, Michael Fassbender, and Academy Award winner Sir Ben Kingsley headline this October’s anticipated action-adventure, 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 the big screen’s most renowned talent, with film accomplishments that include “Monty Python,” “Star Trek,” “Harry Potter,” “The Lord of the Rings,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Alice in Wonderland,” and the upcoming “X-Men: First Class.”

“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 in South Africa. “We’re taking this to the limits in Fable 3 by bringing on a star-studded cast who truly understand what it takes to bring characters to life in complex ways and add new dimensions of blockbuster entertainment.”

“This 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 of Fable III.

“One 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.

Gamers will be able to interact with these critically acclaimed actors as they play out their roles in Fable III. Talk politics with Sir Ben Kingsley, dish over the latest fashions with John Cleese, or stir up trouble with Simon Pegg, all while plotting to bring the tyrannical King Logan – voiced by Michael Fassbender – to his knees.

Plenty of other big names round off the Fable II voice cast:

-John Cleese as your trusty butler and confidant, Jasper.
-Sir Ben Kingsley as the leader of the mountain dwellers, Sabine.
-Simon Pegg as attention-seeking soldier Benn Finn who is looking for action.
-Michael Fassbender as the evil King Logan whom your “Fable III” hero will lead a revolution against.
-Zoë Wannamaker returns as Theresa. She was last seen taking over the Spire in Fable II, but who knows what her real motivation is?
-Stephen Fry returns as Reaver, the narcissistic marksman blessed with eternal youth.
-Bernard Hill as Sir Walter Beck, your faithful mentor.
-Nicholas Hoult as the potential male love interest, Elliot, to your Fable 3 female hero.
-Naomie Harris as Page, the leader of the rebels who reside in Bowerstone.
