It’s still anyone’s guess what we’re getting out of Secret Level, Amazon Prime’s ambitious anthology adapting multiple popular video game properties into the medium of animation. One thing, however, is clear: Amazon poured a lot of money into the creation of this thing. Case in point…we can’t name another cartoon that actually landed the real voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
UPDATE: Except, apparently, the PBS cartoon Liberty’s Kids. which somehow got him back in the 90s as the voice of a villain named Baron von Stuebern. Live ‘n learn.
Amazon released the full cast list at NYCC last weekend, and he’s just one of several big names on it. As for who Arnie is playing, Amazon won’t say. It’d be hilarious if he was attached to the Concord episode, at least for us. Sony collaborated with Amazon to get several episodes based on their own games, and they counted their chickens a bit too early, resulting in one of the 15 episodes being based around the biggest bomb of the year and something you can’t actually buy anymore. According to Amazon there are no plans to shelve the episode.
The other cast members include Arnold’s own son Patrick, Kevin Hart and his daughter Heaven, Keanu Reeves (John Wick), Ricky Whittle (American Gods), Emily Swallow (Star Wars), Temuera Morrison (Star Wars), Claudia Doumit (The Boys), Ariana Greenblatt (Barbie), Clive Standen (Vikings), Michael Beach (The Perfect Couple), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Lost), Gabriel Luna and Merle Dandridge (The Last of Us).
The games Secret Level will be adapting range from gazillion-dollar blockbusters to indie darlings, and include God of War, Sifu, Warhammer 40K, Unreal Tournament, New World: Aeternum, Dungeons & Dragons (technically counts…there are D&D video games), The Outer Worlds 2, Pac-Man, Honor of Kings, Armored Core, Mega Man, Exodus, Spelunky, and Crossfire. And Concord.
Amazon MGM Studios and Blur Studio are producing Secret Level, with Dave Wilson serving as executive producer and supervising director. The first season of the series will be released on Amazon Prime December 10.
