Over the weekend, a collection of movies posted by former Bayonetta voice actor Hellena Taylor accused developer PlatinumVideo games of providing an “insulting” sum of $4,000USD to reprise the function within the upcoming third entry, Bayonetta 3, though a brand new Bloomberg report (paywall) options claims from sources “conversant in the negotiations” which paint a barely totally different image.
As reported by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, two sources — who requested to stay nameless, although apparently supported by documentation seen by Bloomberg — declare that PlatinumVideo games was “decided” to have Taylor reprise the function, and wished to safe Taylor for “at the very least 5 classes, every paying $3,000 to $4,000 for 4 hours within the studio,” placing the whole fee for the function at a minimal of $15,000.
The report says “Taylor requested for a six-figure sum in addition to residuals on the sport,” which Platinum dismissed earlier than holding auditions for the function. Bloomberg’s sources say that Taylor was provided a cameo within the sport on the similar single-session price — so $3,000 to $4,000 — which Taylor declined.
Responding to this differing account of the negotiations, Taylor advised Schreier it was “an absolute lie,” saying she stood by all the pieces in her movies.
Taylor’s unique feedback led to a lot on-line dialogue earlier this week, with Hideki Kamiya commenting on an “angle of untruth” on Twitter, and the artist who took over voicing the character within the new sport — Jennifer Hale — receiving abusive messages on social media earlier than placing out a brief assertion of her personal.
