GameDaily has an
interview with Mike Verdu, the Executive Producer of C&C 3. It's mostly related to the FMVs in C&C 3, and casting. Here's a snippet:
GameDaily: Can you talk about what Hollywood actors bring to the story-telling of this game?
Mike Verdu: Our very talented cast is bringing the characters, story, and game world for Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars (C&C 3) to life in a way that computer generated characters simply can't. The C&C 3 story is rich, layered, and has a depth that is unusual for the real-time strategy genre.
For example, Billy Dee Williams plays a politician thrust onto the world stage during the ultimate crisis, a man who must wrestle with deep insecurities and character flaws that become increasingly visible as the pressure on him mounts. Josh Holloway plays an elite military planner who has never actually confronted the death and destruction resulting from the very operations he plans; when he is forced to come face to face with the horrors of war, he gains a new level of empathy and understanding that leads to a character defining moment. Tricia Helfer plays the conflicted second-in-command of a stateless superpower, a new hybrid of terrorist organization, religion, and nation-state; she draws you into her own worldview to the point where you may well feel sympathy for this character who is ruthless and evil in the conventional sense but has a strong sense of honor and duty within her own twisted frame of reference.

In addition there are two new C&C 3 screens at
ComputerandVideoGames.com, but they don't show much new as far as I can tell.
