Vivendi Games' Sierra Entertainment has unveiled part of the A-list talent that will help bring drug-lord Tony Montana's criminal empire to life in the upcoming video game Scarface: The World Is Yours. Attracting an unprecedented array of Hollywood's brightest film and television stars as well as returning cast members from the 1983 classic film, the hotly-anticipated game will plunge players deep into the seedy underbelly of 1980s Miami as they rebuild Tony Montana's empire and seek vengeance on his enemies. Further announcements about additional cast members will be made later this year.

The cast includes stars from the original film including Robert Loggia (Jagged Edge), who played Frank Lopez, Steven Bauer (Traffic), who starred as Manny Ribera, and Al Israel (Dangerous Minds), who appeared as Hector the Toad. Al Pacino lends his likeness to the lead role in the game and hand-picked the voice-over actor playing Tony Montana. In addition, key lines from Mr. Pacino's performance in the original film appear in the game.
