CLINT EASTWOOD - EASTWOOD STEPS UP FOR DIRTY HARRY COMPUTER GAME

Legendary film-maker CLINT EASTWOOD has agreed to lend his image and voice to a new computer game based on classic 1971 movie DIRTY HARRY.

Eastwood, who played vigilante cop HARRY CALLAHAN in Dirty Harry and its four sequels in the 1970s and 1980s, is also acting as a creative consultant on the forthcoming game.

The 74-year-old says, "This will be an opportunity to satisfy the many requests over the years to continue the Dirty Harry legacy. Only now in the video game medium.

"Creating Dirty Harry video games will also introduce this memorable film character to new generations on a medium they appreciate."

The Dirty Harry game isn't the only movie classic currently being turned into a computer game - a pixellated version of THE GODFATHER contains the voices of the late MARLON BRANDO, JAMES CAAN and ROBERT DUVALL, while a video game take on AL PACINO's 1983 gangster film SCARFACE is currently in development.
