Today we’ve announced that Mickey Rourke, a Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee for “The Wrestler, ” has been given the lead role in our upcoming shooter Rogue Warrior. Rourke will play Richard “Demo Dick” Marcinko — a real-life Navy SEAL and founder of the elite SEAL Team 6.
Developed by Rebellion Studios, Rogue Warrior is planned for a release later this year on Xbox 360, Games for Windows LIVE, and PlayStation 3. For more details, check out the press release.

That’s great news. I love Mickey Rourke. I still have to go see The Wrestler though. I’ve been told his role in it could be one of the finest of his career.
How long has this been in development for? Did Rogue Warrior crawl out of a period of development hell?
Yahoo! Nice to see things really going great for Mickey Rourke. Congratulations to all involved.
