Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez lend voices to Avatar

Ubisoft has announced that the same actors who lent their voices to James Cameron’s film, Avatar, will reprise their roles in the game.

Sigourney Weaver plays Dr. Grace Augustine in the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and PC versions; Michelle Rodriguez voices helicopter pilot Trudy Chacon in the PC, PS3, and 360 versions which feature bad guy Col. Quaritch, played by Stephen Lang.

Giovanni Ribisi will only appear in the Wii version as Parker Selfridge.

A trailer for the game will be released next month on August 21 but there’s no word on whether it will contain the actors’ voices.

Thanks, Joystiq.

Michelle Rodriguez?!

Did anyone hear her voice acting in Driver 3?

Quite simply the worst “acting” I’ve ever heard grace a video game.

Love that Sig is doing Voice work, hate that Rodriguez will bring her drunken antics to it.

“They got rid of her from Lost is because she is bitch and she was just like Lohan… Bringing trouble and causing it”

Whilst she did cause some trouble off set, that’s not the reason they got rid of her. She was only always going to do one season, the production team even said it was her choice.

She does come across as a right miserable sour face cunt, though, to be fair.
