"Bravo Six, going dark: A movie based on the Call of Duty franchise is now in development at Paramount. Taylor Sheridan, creator of the Yellowstone franchise and scribe of movies like Hell or High Water, will co-write the script with director (and Friday Night Lights creator) Peter Berg. Ooh-rah."
"In the press release, Paramount announced it is partnering with Activision to develop and produce a live-action Call of Duty movie "designed to thrill its massive global fan base" that will deliver "on the hallmarks of what fans love about the iconic series." Paramount also announced itself as the distributor of the movie."
"The Call of Duty series began in 2003, as a historical first-person shooter set in World War II. In 2007, the series reached a new high point with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which set the games in the 21st century and imagined conflicts heavily informed by the War on Terror. Its commercial success has kept the series going since, with some installments taking place in the future and experimenting with science fiction stories."
Paramount announced on October 30 that it is developing a live-action feature film based on the Call of Duty video game series. Paramount is partnering with Activision to develop and produce the film and will distribute the movie. Taylor Sheridan will co-write the script with director Peter Berg. The announcement did not include plot or story details, leaving the specific game era unclear. The Call of Duty franchise began in 2003 with World War II settings, expanded into modern conflicts with 2007's Modern Warfare, and later included futuristic entries and a recurring Zombies Mode. The franchise has generated about $30 billion in revenue. Sheridan's involvement was highlighted alongside notes about his upcoming studio deal shift, with new Sheridan projects scheduled to release through Paramount until his contract ends.
