“Flags of our Fathers” star Adam Beach confirmed with MTV News tonight that he’ll be starring in a live-action version of Turok.
“We just finished the animated movie and now we’re going into the feature film movie [which should lens] hopefully in a couple years. We’re about to set up meetings to develop a script and put it out there,” Beach enthused. “I’ll have to beef up, and be a good guy, and save the world!”
Based on the Dark Horse comic book of the same name, Turok arguably got his claim to fame thanks to the old Nintendo 64 series by Acclaim, and recently the franchise was revived by Buena Vista Interactive and Propaganda Games. Beach also expressed his excitement about the chance to play one of the few popular Native American fictional properites.
“He’s the first Native American superhero that I ever looked up to,” he said. “He basically [comes from] a family where they’re protecting our universe from an alternate universe that wants to take it over. He uses his wits, and his might, and his special bow and arrow to take over the world.”
