News: With the release of Call of Duty Black Ops III only a few days away, a new “Seize Glory” live action trailer has been released.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III is coming out later this week. To help celebrate the occasion Activision has released a live action trailer, directed by Wayne McClammy and featuring Michael B. Jordan, Cara Delevingne, and Marshawn Lynch, follows Kevin as he wall-runs, thrust jumps, and power slides through enemies and zombies on his way to glory.

“The Black Ops series is beloved by millions of fans, who have continued to make it the most played series in Call of Duty. This year, the high-profile release of Black Ops III is a pop culture moment for fans to come together and celebrate around the globe,” said Tim Ellis, CMO, Activision Publishing, Inc. “‘Seize Glory’ captures that feeling of exhilaration and accomplishment in which anyone can go on an amazing run and become his or her own champion in Call of Duty. This campaign celebrates our community and the unforgettable gameplay moments they’ll experience in Black Ops III.”

This is director Wayne McClammy's fourth go-round with Call of Duty and has continued to up the ante with each instalment. A majority of the live-action was shot practically, rather than with visual effects, to bring a heightened sense of grit and realism to the spot. Academy Award winning director of photography Deon Bebe teamed up with renowned stunt coordinator Darrin Prescott to lend a cinematic feel to each moment. The film was shot over five days in an abandoned mall in Southern California, as the natural decay and destruction gave the shoot a more authentic feel.
