Thursday afternoon at San Diego Comic-Con, Audible hosted a panel for new scripted Original Series, Moriarty: The Devil’s Game. Moderated by Andre Meadows, cast members Dominic Monaghan (The Lord of The Rings, Lost), Phil LaMarr (Pulp Fiction, Family Guy), and Lindsay Whisler discussed the thrilling task of bringing these known characters to life in stunning audio.
The bold new addition to the Sherlock Holmes universe, Moriarty: The Devils Game, dares to ask: What if Holmes’ most villainous nemesis was actually an innocent man?
Featuring Dominic Monaghan (Lord of the Rings, Lost) in a riveting lead performance, Moriarty turns one of literature’s most famous rivalries on its head, recasting Professor James Moriarty as a desperate fugitive framed for murder–and hunted by dark forces who will stop at nothing to exploit his brilliance.
Moriarty finds the professor on the heels of an earth-shattering mathematical breakthrough–a formula so powerful, it can predict the future–and at the scene of a gruesome murder he must solve to prove his innocence. With London’s sprawling underworld as their battleground, Moriarty and Holmes match their peerless intellects to gain the ever-shifting upper hand. But as their duel escalates, so does the deadly cost of pursuing the truth. “What will it take to get your justice?” Dr. Watson asks an utterly ensnared Moriarty, “And if do you get it… what will you become?”
Vividly brought to life by a sensational cast and meticulously crafted sound design, Moriarty is a heart-pounding series filled with biting wit and shocking twists at every turn.
Listen closely – and assume nothing. The game is afoot.
Dominic Monaghan, Moriarty Voice Actor: James Moriarty had this to say about his new project: “The story of Moriarty in audio allows for a dynamic world. Moriarty is someone who has not been fully explored and this series allows us to do that. The character of James Moriarty is known but it’s important to approach it as new and make it your own.”
“When you hear the sounds of Big Ben chiming, the horses, the pedestrians on the street, the audio series transports you and the world is so rich.”
