Electronic Arts has revealed the cast list for the upcoming shooter remake Syndicate, which will include such notable actors as Brian Cox and Rosario Dawson, as well as Michael Wincott.
”Syndicate immerses players deep into a dystopian world of unscrupulous corporations and chip augmented enforcers. These agents are the weapons of this war for market dominance and we needed strong talent to represent these intense characters. We are honored to have worked with the incredible Rosario Dawson, Brian Cox and Michael Wincott to make this world come alive,” said Starbreeze Studios CEO Mikael Nermark.
Rosario Dawson will be playing Lily Drawl, the complex corporate executive of EuroCorp who has a shattered and conflicted psyche, due to the demands of both her corporate masters and the underground resistance to syndicate rule.
Dawson marveled, “I’m amazed how videogames have become so deep in story, delivering fantastic worlds and memorable characters rivaling big Hollywood films. I was excited when EA approached me to play Lily Drawl in Syndicate. She’s an interesting and strong female character. How cool is it to play the mastermind who designed the military chip inside the player’s head!”
Dawson is best known for Sin City and Grindhouse, while Brian Cox performed in such films as Manhunter, The Ring and The Bourne Identity. Michael Wincott is best known for his role in The Crow.
Syndicate will be released on the 21st February for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC in North America, and the 24th February in Europe.
