The Latest ‘Rage 2’ Cheat Code Features a Proper Diamond Geezer
I’m all for this approach to voice packs that Rage 2 has going on. First, we have an NBA commentator, now we have a cockney soap opera star.
The latest one is very much focused on a UK audience, so I will totally understand our American audience not really being quite so interested, but in a delightfully bizarre announcement, top TV cockney geezer/muppet (delete as applicable) Danny Dyer can be the commentary voice in the post-apocalyptic shooter.
In keeping for Dyer, his voice work is especially profanity-laden. You can hear for yourself in the ‘Diamond Geezer Cheat Code’ trailer below.
It’s not the first time Dyer has featured in a video game, as he was the voice of Kent Paul in GTA Vice City and San Andreas. He has some horror cred too, having starred in Severance and Doghouse (both of which are decent comedy horror films).
Rage 2 is out May 14 on PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
