Legendary actor Christopher Lee's regal voice will be heard in an animated film based on author Edgar Allan Poe's anthology "Extraordinary Tales".
Lee, who died on June 7, aged 93, in London, after being hospitalised for respiratory problems and heart failure, is a narrator for the "Extraordinary Tales" project, with horror directors Guillermo del Toro, Roger Corman and actor Julian Sands also taking part, said The Hollywood Reporter,
The film will cover Poe's stories "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Pit and the Pendulum", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Facts in the Case of M Valdemar" and "The Masque of the Red Death".
"The Lord of the Rings" actor recorded a narration of "The Tell Tale Heart", so producers will presumably use that audio.
Directed by "Lion King" animator Raul Garcia, the film will hit the theatres on October 30.
