In news of the weird getting weirder, THQ has announced that actors Billy Bob Thornton (Sling Blade) and Dennis Hopper (Blue Velvet, lots of stuff where he plays a creepy guy) will voice the two lead two human characters in its Wii-exclusive Deadly Creatures.
"The scorpion and tarantula are like two actors meeting up for a gun fight," Thornton said in a press release. The release makes no mention of whether Mr. Thorton or Mr. Hopper have actually seen the game, but the latter said of it: "Gamers are really going to love Deadly Creatures." We'll love it more if you promise not to huff nitrous and call us "mommy," sir.
[Correction: Thornton and Hopper will voice two human antagonists in the game, not the bugs. But they are antagonists.]

Should this game be on my radar, or what?

I dunno, maybe. I can't tell what to think or expect out of this, but it does seem compelling at times because it seems like they're trying to do something different. Hope they don't fall short.
This is pretty interesting though, Thorton and Hopper voicing the two main characters??? Scorpion and a tarantula? Sounds pretty awesome the more I think about it.
They should get Chris Tucker as a mosquito "Bzzzz!"

Of all the flicks you pick Blue Velvet? That's hilarious. Next time Speed will do just fine.
Ihavepants @ Dec 9th 2008 11:42PM
Or how about Super Mario Brothers.

No, Speed.

Well, Next to Easy Rider, I'd say that Blue Velvet is Hopper's best movie to date. So, I say that it is a good reference.

They're not voicing the creatures. They're voicing two human characters who are featured in the game. http://wii.ign.com/articles/925/925753p1.html

This is incorrect. They will be voicing the antogonist humans, not the creatures.
Wii Fanboy got it right: "Sadly, contrary to our expertly 'shopped post image, they'll be playing human characters, a missed opportunity if ever we saw one."

Plus, I know I'll get flack for this, but we've known this for months. The only new part of this article is the quotes.

This is obviously Soulja Boy's doing.

Scorpion: Pop quiz, hotshot. There's poison in my stinger. Once it stings you, you die. What do you do? What do you do?
Spider: Some folks call it a stinger, I call it a poison gland. Ugh-Hmm.

For some reason, the screenie reminds me of that Element commercial. "I want to pinch."
tetrisrain @ Dec 10th 2008 10:00AM
Dennis Hopper, King Koopa himself
j.howlett @ Dec 10th 2008 12:58PM
i am ashamed that i chuckled at the correction

Dennis Hopper is a busy man of late. He seems to have a lot of films coming out and events to attend. I just got his voice on my GPS from Navtones.com. Is there anything this man can’t do?
BigD145 @ Dec 10th 2008 2:23PM
Why are there any humans in this game?
