Overview
- Paramount and Activision confirmed that Taylor Sheridan and Peter Berg will co-write and produce the live-action feature, with Berg directing and David Glasser also producing.
- The project is planned for theaters as a live-action film, but no plot, casting, production start, or release date has been announced.
- A September pact focuses on one feature while leaving room to expand the Call of Duty universe across film and TV, and the studio says the film is designed to thrill fans and reach new audiences.
- Sheridan remains committed to Paramount through existing obligations as he is reported to shift his overall deal to NBCUniversal in 2029, and the announcement comes as Paramount undergoes restructuring following its Skydance merger and layoffs.
- Call of Duty is described as the No. 1 best-selling video game series in the U.S. for 16 straight years with over 500 million copies sold, after years of unrealized film efforts including a reported Spielberg pitch Activision declined.
