Rockstar: Hell no, Niko won't have new lines in GTA IV expansion |

If you were hoping that Grand Theft Auto IV's expansion will give you some bonding time with Niko Bellic, think again. When asked if Michael Hollick will return to voice Bellic for The Lost and Damned, Rockstar's VP of product development Jeronimo Barrera replied "Hell no!"
It's understandable that Niko won't play a major part in the expansion, since the main character will be Johnny Klebitz. The Lost and Damned will show Niko pop up here and there, but only during those times when he and Johnny crossed paths in the main game, so Hollick doesn't really have to return to the studio to record new dialogue.
But the real question is, why give a firm "hell no" to Hollick? He did, after all, win the best male voice award during the 2008 VGA. Barrera didn't explain why, but it's not hard to reason out. When GTA IV came out last year, he b*tched to the New York Times about how he only got US$ 100,000 for his gig, when the game itself was earning millions in sales.

While $100,000 is a lot of money, I think he still has every right to complain for being underpaid, having been the lead character for such a high profile game.

he should of had more foresight and negotiated a contract based on sales instead of one lump sum...

coming in to act out lines for a couple days is nothing compared to gaining 50 pounds for a role, and being on set for 12 hours a day 6 days a week for months shooting a movie.
