Film & TV Scarface Game and Al Pacino

[Valeoz]

For all those interested in whether Al Pacino gave his likeness rights to Scarface, well he did.

I found out in this review at IGN of The Godfather Game and somewhat says why Al didn't give his likeness to EA. I guess he didn't want to do both or something.

The missing role-players aren't the real issue, though. Unfortunately, while the game is packed with a great supporting cast, especially Marlon Brando, who worked with EA prior to his death on the voice acting for the Godfather himself, the lack of Al Pacino is a real trouble. EA was unable to reach an agreement with Mr. Pacino who, it just so happens, gave his consent to appear in Vivendi Universal's Scarface. Too bad he couldn't do both. Given that the character in this story neither looks like Al Pacino nor sounds like him -- for legal reasons -- the role of Michael is heavily compromised and it hurts the narrative.
