Kingly role: Andy Serkis talks Heavenly Sword

Andy Serkis geared up for motion capture for Heavenly Sword - Image 1Andy Serkis is getting quite a bit of the limelight treatment lately - limelight here meaning green screens, as in motion capture sessions, in a sense. And it's no secret - unless you've been living with Gollum under a mountain for the past few months - that Mr. Serkis is lending his talent to the much-anticipated PS3 title from Ninja Theory, Heavenly Sword.

No, silly. He's not doing motion captures for red-haired heroine, Nariko. Serkis is playing the role of King Bohan (Botan, Bothan, depending how it's spelled these days), the game's main antagonist bent on trying to acquire Nariko's people's Heavenly Sword.

Throw in all the ruthless campaigns launched by Bohan to claim the Heavenly Sword from Nariko, and you've got quite a heavy role for Serkis to fill. Thinking about it though, based on previous projects he's been involved in, he's probably cut out for the job already.

In this video interview from ThreeSpeech, Andy Serkis talks about his role and the nuances of motion capturing for Heavenly Sword. If you want some eye candy, there's a couple of new game footage flashed every now and then as well.

However, since HTML embed codes can sometimes elude certain writers, this particular blogger would have to redirect you over to the Read link below. Enjoy!

Dude...

do you have nothing better to do with your life than just sit around flaming every single article that has to do with the ps3? im not mad at you or anything, it just seems kind of silly and a waste of time.

Seriously no life, and apparently no knowledge when it comes to spelling and grammer

Yeah, there should be a requirement for Trolls to take basic English... Maybe in the 6th grade he'll learn more about sentence composition, eh?
