It’s Call of Duty week! And in keeping with tradition, Activision has released its live-action launch trailer.
It stars Michael B. Jordan (Creed, Fantastic Four, Fruitvale Station) and Cara Delevingne (Suicide Squad, Paper Towns, Valerian), along with American footballer Marshawn Lynch of the Seattle Seahawks.
Director Wayne McClammy tried to shoot as much of the action as possible live, cutting down on the computer effects and enlisting the help of stunt coordinator Darrin Prescott. The video was shot across five days in an abandoned Californian shopping mall.
