Paramount Enlists Taylor Sheridan Peter Berg for Call of Duty Movie

Paramount Pictures and Activision have teamed up to develop a Call of Duty movie, enlisting director Peter Berg and writer Taylor Sheridan to bring the project to life. Berg, known for directing military and action films like Lone Survivor and Patriots Day, will direct, while Sheridan, acclaimed for his work on Sicario and Yellowstone, will co-write the script. The duo, who previously collaborated on Hell or High Water and Wind River, aim to balance dramatic storytelling with the franchise's hallmark intense action sequences. Paramount intends for the film to honor the legacy of the popular video game series while also appealing to newcomers, though no specific plot details or production timelines have been announced yet. Despite speculation, the film will not be tied to any particular Call of Duty game, and Activision engaged fans in a survey to choose potential storylines. This collaboration marks a significant step toward expanding the Call of Duty universe across film and television under Paramount's guidance.
