LA Noire characters revealed by mocap casting call
Rockstar’s LA Noire has been shrouded in so much mystery that its very existence has been called into question. A recent casting call for actors not only confirms the game’s continued development, but also reveals the many (if not all) characters to be featured in the game. The call asks for “STRONG ACTORS, able to handle LOTS OF dialog” for a cast of supporting characters, comprised mostly of detectives, police officers and the occasional crook.
The casting call is looking for a face similar to actors Gary Cooper or Gregory Peck (pictured above) for the protagonist — Cole Phelps. Co-stars and supporting roles, such as jazz singer Elsa Lichtmann, will only be required to perform for 10 days or less. However, the actor chosen to play Cole Phelps will work for three months, from November to January, to record his performance for the game.
It’s evident from the large roster of characters and the use of Hollywood actors that LA Noire is intended to be quite the cinematic game. However, with only three months of mocap, it still pales in comparison to the upcoming Heavy Rain — which demanded nine months of motion capture work.
