Perlman to appear in Dungeon Siege movie

From Reuters:

Jason Statham and Leelee Sobieski are set to headline the cast of director Uwe Boll’s $60 million adaptation of the sword-and-sorcery video game “Dungeon Siege,” which begins filming Sunday in Vancouver.

Statham (“Cellular,” “Collateral”) plays the film’s hero, Farmer, and Sobieski (“Eyes Wide Shut,” “Max”) has been cast as Muriella, daughter of the court sorcerer Merrick (John Rhys Davies of “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy).

Also starring are Ron Perlman (“Hellboy”) as Norick, Farmer’s friend; Matthew Lillard (“Scooby-Doo”) as Duke Fallow; Burt Reynolds (“The Longest Yard”) as King Konreid; and Kristanna Loken (“Terminator 3”) as Elora, an enchanted tree-like creature whose support proves critical to Farmer.
