Digital Kevin Spacey’s lifeless gaze stars in latest Call Of Duty trailer

It’s Spacey’s voice and likeness, to be exact. As announced earlier this year, he’ll be portraying the game’s villain, of sorts, the head of a private military corporation who is sick and tired of America’s weakness and decides to spread democracy across the globe using his own forces. The latest trailer (which Activision put out a few weeks ago, but I didn’t spot it until today when it popped up on the PlayStation YouTube channel) offers a new, chilling look at virtual Spacey in action.

It’s a remarkable recreation, really. Just look at those wrinkles and cleft chin. The only thing that’s missing is any semblance of life in his digital eyes. Making things worse and slightly more terrifying is the fact that Spacey is supposed to be angry in his big scene. Everything below space-age Spacey’s nose animates in turn with his outburst, but those dead eyes just keep on staring ahead—empty, haunting, unfeeling.
