Star-Studded-Ish Red Alert 3 Cast Unveiled


Nudity, violence, respected thespianism - Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 [http://www.ea.com], and it reads like a food pyramid of popular entertainment figures.

The live-action sequences driving the game forward will include a diverse cast of veteran actors, young up-and-comers and even a professional fighter or two, including George Takei of Star Trek and Heroes fame, former UFC Champion Randy "The Natural" Couture, Jonathan Pryce from Pirates of the Caribbean (although he was much better in Spider-Man [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122690/] movies.

"This is by far the most exciting cast we have in over 13 years of shooting live-action movies for Command & Conquer," said EA Los Angeles Executive Producer Chris Corry. "The caliber of the performances we received, both individually and collectively, have really raised the storytelling bar for the franchise."

"I think videogames are one of the new frontiers for actors and using live action is just another way to connect more easily to the gamer rather than CG or animation techniques," added a surprisingly well-informed-sounding J.K. Simmons, who plays U.S. President Howard T. Ackerman in the game. "To be in a groundbreaking game like Red Alert 3 where we are using full-on shooting of live actors and to be with Jonathan Pryce, Tim Curry and Peter Stormare, it was a great opportunity for a character actor like me to have some fun."

The full list of actors and athletes starring in the game includes:

Gemma Atkinson [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1074432/] (Hollyoaks)
Gina "Conviction" Carano [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2442289/] (Elite XC fighter and American Gladiator "Crush")
Randy "The Natural" Couture [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1330276/] (former UFC Champion)
Tim Curry [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000347/] (Rocky Horror Picture Show)
Andrew Divoff [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0228678/] (Lost)
Kelly Hu [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005026/] (X-Men 2)
Jenny McCarthy [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000189/] (former Playboy Playmate of the Year)
Ivana Milicevic [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0587431/] (Casino Royale)
Jonathan Pryce [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000596/] (Pirates of the Caribbean)
Autumn Reeser [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1032208/] (The OC)
Peter Stormare [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001780/] (Prison Break)
George Takei [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001786/] (I shouldn't have to explain this one)

Fans of the franchise who purchase the limited Premier Edition will be able to see even more of the actors on a bonus DVD that includes interviews and behind-the-scenes shots of the game's cinematic cutscenes. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is currently in development for the PC and RedAlert3.com [http://www.xbox.com].

The Command & Conquer cut scenes have always been something extraordinary about the games. The only other game that I've seen that has done well with live-action cut scenes had to be Wing Commander Prophecy (with Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker from the original Star Wars movies) as Commodore Christopher "Maverick" Blair). It's nice to see another Semi-Star studded cast from the Command & Conquer series.

Tim Curry is in this. It cannot fail.
Maybe he's doing the voice overs for the a new Russian unit. The Transexual Transilvanian Alien Spy Commando.

Which strangely enough sounds like it would work in Red Alert.

Is there really going to be nudity in the live-action cut scenes?
It would be a shame to let Jenny McArthy's talents go to waste. Double for Gemma Atkinson.

This sounds awesome. I haven't bought a Command and Conquer game since Yuri's Revenge, but I will give this one a chance. The cast looks awesome, and my brother has a HUGE crush on that chick from American Gladiators.
