Activision and Treyarch have announced that Gary Oldman (The Professional, Dracula, Batman: The Dark Knight) and Ed Harris (The Abyss, A History of Violence, Pollock, Apollo 13 and The Right Stuff) will play veteran Soviet soldier Viktor Reznov and CIA operative Jason Hudson, respectively. Filmmaker David S. Goyer (Batman: Dark Knight, Batman Begins, Blade and the upcoming Superman: Man of Steel) will provide provide script consultation and story development support.
Oldman, Harris and Goyer are considered some of Hollywood s finest talents and they perfectly complement Call of Duty: Black Ops ambitious and immersive single player experience, says Mark Lamia, Studio Head of Treyarch. Their contributions have helped us to push the boundaries of our story telling and character development far beyond anything we have ever attempted before in the franchise.
