'Turok' live-action dinosaur movie unveiled

A live-action Turok movie based on the original dinosaur hunter comic book series and video game franchise is in the works, claims Adam Beach.

The Flags Of Our Fathers actor, who also provided the voiceovers for the animated film Turok: Son Of Stone, said meetings have been set up to develop a script.

“We just finished the animated movie and now we’re going into the feature film movie hopefully in a couple years. We’re about to set up meetings to develop a script and put it out there,” Beach said.

“I’ll have to beef up, and be a good guy, and save the world!”

Beach, who also provided the voiceover for the Turok game released earlier this year, is expected to play the lead role in the film.

The Acclaim-published Turok comic book and video game portrayed the dinosaur hunter as a young native American boy.

The first-person shooter series saw players use a diverse range of weapons as they hunted down a plethora of dinosaurs, from the T-Rex to the Mini Raptor.
