Although it might not yet have anything concrete to show off, Paramount just made one of the biggest streaming announcements we've seen in a very long time. It confirmed this week that it's entered into an agreement with Activision, the gaming publisher now owned by Xbox, to develop a blockbuster movie based on the Call of Duty (COD) franchise.
By almost any metric, COD games are among the biggest in the world, consistently topping sales charts year after year, and drawing in at times hundreds of millions of gamers to their adrenaline-filled arenas. They've also long had campaign segments that scratch the military thriller itch, so it's very easy to imagine how Paramount might go about adapting these into a true blockbuster format.
