Electronic Arts announced today the live action cast members of Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising. The new cast members include Jamie Chung (Dragonball Evolution), Malcolm McDowell (Heroes, Clockwork Orange, Wing Commander), Jodi Lyn O'Keefe (Prison Break), Holly Valance (Neighbours) and wrestling legend Ric Flair. Gemma Atkinson and Ivana Milicevic were previously confirmed to be reprising their roles from Red Alert 3.
"Quality live-action movies and storytelling have always been a unique component to the Command & Conquer DNA and we wanted to make sure we did things right with Uprising," said Amer Ajami, Senior Producer at EA Los Angeles. "We are really pleased we were able to assemble another large and talented ensemble for Uprising, and we think our fans are going to be pleased by everyone's performances, not only in the cutscenes, but also in Commander's Challenge, where you'll actually be battling some of our stars."
"When I found out that EA wanted me to be part of Command & Conquer, all I could say was 'Woooooooooooo!'" said 16-time world heavyweight champion, Ric Flair, who stars as Commander Hill, a commander players will have to take on in the new Commander's Challenge mode. "I had a great time on set and, while I may have retired from the ring, I think my fans are going to love seeing the 'Nature Boy' style and profile his way to victory. I know my kids are going to have a great time trying to take it to me on the battlefield."
"It's great to be working with good actors and the more good actors you can get to do games, the better," added Malcolm McDowell, who plays Rupert Thornley, the president of the European Union. "In the past people might have thought you could get away with anything in games and that isn't a good attitude. Kids are spending a lot of money and time on these games and they deserve first rate performers and I'm glad to say that this is what Uprising is."
Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising will be release via digital download for PC in March 2009.
