Peter Serafinowicz : Son Rôle Surprenant dans Elden Ring et la Saga Soulsborne
Bien que les jeux de la série Souls ne soient pas pour tout le monde, ceux qui y accrochent sont souvent fidèles à vie, captivés par leurs univers riches, leurs combats d'une difficulté redoutable et leur nature addictive. L'acteur Peter Serafinowicz est tombé sous le charme des RPG de FromSoftware dès le premier Dark Souls, au point de contacter directement la société éditrice dans l'espoir de participer à leurs projets.
Dans un extrait du podcast "Five Brilliant Things" de Russel Howard, Serafinowicz a confié avoir approché la "société de logiciels" derrière le jeu, sans préciser s'il s'agissait de Bandai Namco ou de FromSoftware. Quoi qu'il en soit, sa démarche a porté ses fruits : il a décroché un rôle important dans Dark Souls 2 et dans tous les jeux suivants de la saga (à l'exception de Sekiro, semble-t-il).
Peter Serafinowicz est le doubleur de tous les cris de mort des personnages masculins dans les jeux Soulsborne. Alors, la prochaine fois que vous serez sur le point de jeter votre manette par frustration après avoir été vaincu par Malenia, rappelez-vous que Brian Butterfield, un de ses personnages, endure toutes ces morts atroces à votre place.
Serafinowicz aura également un rôle dans le prochain film Elden Ring, qu'il a obtenu grâce à une rencontre fortuite avec le réalisateur Alex Garland. Le scénariste et réalisateur était apparemment déjà conscient de la passion de Serafinowicz pour Dark Souls. Avant qu'ils ne puissent en discuter plus en détail, Garland a dû s'absenter pour une réunion. Serafinowicz a alors laissé un mot avec son numéro et a pu plus tard discuter de son rôle et le décrocher.
Le film Elden Ring est prévu pour une sortie en mars 2028.

Peter Serafinowicz: His Surprising Role in Elden Ring and the Soulsborne Saga
While the Souls series games may not be for everyone, those who get hooked often do so for life, drawn in by their deep and rich universes, infuriatingly difficult combat, and addictive nature. Actor Peter Serafinowicz found himself addicted to FromSoftware's RPGs right from the very first Dark Souls, to the point of sending a message to the company behind the game to see if he could get involved.
In an excerpt from Russel Howard's "Five Brilliant Things" podcast, Serafinowicz stated that he contacted the "software company" behind the game; it's unclear whether he approached Bandai Namco or FromSoftware directly. Regardless of who he spoke to, it worked, as he managed to secure a key role in Dark Souls 2, and in all subsequent games (with the exception of Sekiro, it seems).
Serafinowicz is the voice actor behind all the male character death screams in the Soulsborne games. So, if you're about to throw your controller at the wall after losing to Malenia again, think of Brian Butterfield enduring all those agonizing deaths on your behalf.
Serafinowicz also has a role in the upcoming Elden Ring film, which he landed through a chance encounter with director Alex Garland. The writer and director of Elden Ring was apparently aware of Serafinowicz's passion for Dark Souls, but before they had a chance to discuss it further, Garland had to step away for a meeting. At the reception, Serafinowicz left a note with his number and managed to discuss it further to secure the role.
The Elden Ring film is scheduled for a March 2028 release.
