Activision sends word that they have signed Joel Goldsmith, the son of legendary composer Jerry Goldsmith, to score the soundtrack for Call of Duty 3, the next in the highly popular (and successful) World War II FPS series.

“Goldsmith is one of the most versatile and talented music composers in the business and we’re excited to have him on board for Call of Duty 3,” said Tim Riley, Activision’s Worldwide Executive of Music. “Fans know to expect a ‘cinematically intense’ experience from the Call of Duty franchise - Goldsmith is the man for the job.”

Joel Goldsmith’s past credits include work on Witchblade, Kull the Conqueror and Stargate: Atlantis. He is also a resident composer for Stargate: SG-1 and has been nominated three times for the Emmy award for work on various projects.

Call of Duty 3 is set to ship this Fall for the Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, PS2 and Wii. No PC version has been announced.
