Pratchett grabs Mirror’s Edge script gig

According to this 1UP story, Rhianna Pratchett’s landed the script-writing job on EA DICE’s Mirror’s Edge.

“It was a great experience working with the team at DICE to help breath life into Faith; her world, relationships and backstory,” said Pratchett of the announcement.

“My heroines and heroes have always been the ones who were ordinary, but through the events of a story, became extraordinary. Faith is skilled, but she’s certainly not a superhero. She has her flaws, like all of us. In short: she’s real. That’s her appeal.”

Congrats, Rhianna. Good work.

There’s a new trailer for this on GameTrailers, although there’s no actual game footage in it.

Never use ‘Pratchet’ in a title that involves the word ‘script’ – it automatically brings Terry Pratchett to mind :p

Second that Peej, the Mirrors edge trailer was cliched tripe. I bloody hope theres not too much of that in the game or it will be a buzzkill.

Wasn’t she responsible for the Heavenly Sword script? Twing Twang.
