EA ANNOUNCES ALL-STAR CELEBRITY CAST FOR COMMMAND & CONQUER RED ALERT 3: UPRISING

Eclectic Ensemble Cast Stars in Newest Addition to the Red Alert Universe

 

Guildford, UK, January 27, 2009 - Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced the members of the live action movie cast for Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising, the upcoming campaign expansion to last autumn's award-winning Command & Conquer Red Alert 3. Picking up in the aftermath of the events in the original, Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 Uprising features an eclectic cast, starring in the all new, live-action movie sequences the Command & Conquer franchise is known for. From sci- fi legends to rising starlets and masters of the squared-circle, the cast of Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising includes (in alphabetical order): Jamie Chung, (Dragonball Evolution), Ric Flair (16-time world heavyweight wrestling champion), Malcolm McDowell (Heroes, Clockwork Orange, Wing Commander), Jodi Lyn O'Keefe (Prison Break), Holly Valance (Neighbours) along with returning fan-favorites Gemma Atkinson and Ivana Milicevic.

 

"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, whiIe 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."

 

Malcolm McDowell, who plays Rupert Thornley, the president of the European Union, and had previously starred in the live-action movies for the Wing Commander franchise, added, "It's great to be working with good actors and the more good actors you can get to do games, the better. 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 take players deeper into the Red Alert universe with four new mini-campaigns set in the aftermath of the events of Red Alert 3. The game also features the new Commander's Challenge mode, a series of 50 challenging, over-the-top scenarios where players will need to battle through a gauntlet of commanders and obstacles in order to unlock the game's powerful new units.

 

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising will be available for digital download this March and has not yet been rated by the ESRB or PEGI.

Watch the new Battlecast Primetime Minute, it answers the odd questions raised in this news posted last October http://forums.cncnz.com/index.php?showtopi...Flair+Bear+Suit

Yup, I think I was right,

Or they're just crazy...

[Silverthorn 0]

Sooo, no wonder why there was that rumor regarding Ric Flair in the EA studio, and it has been revealed. Hello, Nature Boy, WOOOooooo!!

 

Hmm, with the final confirmations of Malcolm as the US president, I fear it won't look good unless Hoff comes back, there must be a real explanation why he disappears, he can't be just like assassinated or something. It's best to show a cameo regarding his disappearance, or if it's ok if EA could do the same thing like how Slavik died in Kane's Wrath. And wow, Takara is one HOT chick, from my point of view, she's sexier than Suki. WOOOooooo!

 

EDIT : Wait wait wait?! Did EA said, "Malcolm McDowell, who plays Rupert Thornley, the president of the European Union?" Is that so? I thought he was going to play as the new US president, but the European Union? *Confusion detected!*

Yeah the first news reports said Malcolm McDowell was the US President. Obviously that's incorrect now. I guess its still open for the Hoff, or there won't be a US President in the Uprising storyline.

[sith_wampa 6]

Woooooooooooooo

[Luk3us 63]

Yeah, WTF is the European union?

 

That new Tom Clancy game is based around, yeah, you guessed it, the Russians, Euros, and Yanks, all they are missing is the Japs. hahah

[Malevolence 6]

Interesting cast! Jodi Lyn O'Keefe is really awesome! For some reason I have a feeling that Holly Valance doesn't suit the role as a reporter? She should be in a role that kick serious ass!

 

Funny to see that Jaime Chung's outfit's symbol is a real Imperial flag instead of the modified EotRS version.

 

 

Btw, Ivana Milicevic FTW!

Eh who cares the Empire will bow down to THE NATURE BOY!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! 16 time World Heavyweight Champion WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[Sonic 296]

I'm looking forward to seeing Ric Flair in the game actually. He knows how to play to a character, he's been playing the "limousine ridin', jet flyin', kiss stealin', wheelin' dealin' son of a gun. WOOOO!!" character for many years in wrestling. He knew how to deliver his promos on the mic.

[Immortal_Joker 0]

now if they can get the rest of Evolution minus Orton to show up THEN WOULD BE PRICELESS!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[Sonic 296]

If anyone wants even bigger versions of the images of the Uprising cast, about 2400 x 3000, let me know. I have them but I wasn't able to post them in our gallery, there are limits to the pixel sizes of images that get added to it.

Ric Flair, real name Richard Morgan Fliehr, is 59 I think.

[Immortal_Joker 0]

Sonic YOU DA MAN!!!

[Luk3us 63]

He's 59? Wow, I thought he was a lot older than that... In that case he's not half bad for a 59 year old.

 

Oh and Sonic, why not just post all the chicks in high res. hahahhahahahhahah

 

But seriously.

[Sonic 296]

He's 59? Wow, I thought he was a lot older than that... In that case he's not half bad for a 59 year old.

A few years ago he said in an interview that he would continue wrestling until he felt his body couldn't take it any more. He retired in March last year after Wrestlemania 24. Here is video that I always liked from RAW the night after Wrestlemania 24. The Undertaker comes out says goodbye to Flair, breaks character for bit in the process and bows down. This never aired on TV.

 

 

The man is a true legend in wrestling circles, what Michael Jordan did for the NBA, Ric Flair did the same from pro wrestling. He is the reason why guys like Triple H are so successful.

 

Oh and Sonic, why not just post all the chicks in high res.

Ok, here's the other two.

[Luk3us 63]

Sonic, he is truly a man in the know, with all the goodies.

[Immortal_Joker 0]

there is only one Nature Boy an he is still missed dearly in the WWE.

[Malevolence 6]

Thanks sonic for the HD pics. I'm looking forward to our new Jodi Lyn O'Keefe in the FMVs.
