We're in a veritable golden age of video game movie adaptations, and Activision's $30 billion "Call of Duty" franchise looks to be the next big name in line for the big-screen treatment. A "Call of Duty" movie is now officially in the works, Paramount Skydance and Activision announced Tuesday (September 2). It’s exactly the kind of project you’d expect from the studio behind "Top Gun: Maverick" and the wildly successful "Sonic the Hedgehog" trilogy.
As part of the deal, Paramount will develop, produce, and distribute a live-action feature film based on the “Call of Duty” universe, which spans more than 30 mainline games released since 2003. Activision is on board as a creative partner for the film. Both companies said they remain committed to honoring the brand's "rich narrative and distinctive style" for fans.
