Director James Cameron basically promised us back at E3 that the game version of his upcoming sci-fi movie Avatar from Ubisoft won't suck. While that's still to be determined, the folks at Ubisoft are doing their best to promote the still somewhat mysterious game and movie. Today they announced that a number of the movie's actors will handle the voice over roles for their characters in the game version.

Among them are Sigourney Weaver (pictured above at a San Diego Comic-Con event for the film and game). While she passed on reprising her role as Dana Barrett in the recent Ghostbusters game, she will voice her Avatar movie role of Dr. Grace Augustine in the game version. In addition actors Michelle Rodriguez and Stephen Lang will handle voice roles as well for the PC version. The first trailer for the Avatar game will be show alongside 15 minutes of the movie on "Avatar Day" on August 21 at IMAX and select 3D movie theaters for free.
