Taylor Sheridan and Peter Berg Set for Paramount’s Live-Action Call of Duty, With Berg Directing

Paramount confirms an Activision partnership with the duo as the adaptation begins early development.

Overview

  • Peter Berg will direct the feature while co-writing the screenplay with Taylor Sheridan, and both will produce alongside 101 Studios’ David Glasser.
  • Paramount and Activision will develop and produce the film, with Paramount handling distribution.
  • No plot details, casting, or release timing has been announced, reflecting the project’s early-stage status.
  • The franchise is cited as the top-selling U.S. video game series for 16 consecutive years with over 500 million copies sold, and reporting suggests the pact could allow expansion into film and TV beyond a single movie.
  • The move comes as industry reports say Sheridan plans to shift his overall pact to NBCUniversal in 2029, as Paramount navigates post-Skydance merger layoffs.
