Anybody else do a double-take when they saw the promo for the new Perry Mason show on HBO starting tonight? I mean it looks just LIKE Tex Murphy was ripped from the games! Tried to post the pic but don't have the I Technical saavy. Maybe someone else can.

Well, looks like they're wearing the same hat. And it has a jazzy score. And it's lit the same way. Even the voice...

Can't say I jumped to the Tex Wagon on that one... Yeah the Noire feel is there, but Perry Mason takes place in old times... Tex has a Flying Car and Video Chats and whatnot... So I didn't make that jump...
Matthew Rhys is a talent that seems to have come out of nowhere... He had a Fairly Low-key Career until he hit Brothers and Sisters and then The Americans...
He is 46 now, so he could definitely play Tex on TV and he would probably nail it... He would just have to watch some Playthroughs of the games and have some conversations with Chris...

Here's a decent picture of Perry Mason... Let me know if it didn't come through properly...
