Paramount and Activision have signed a deal to adapt Call of Duty into a live-action theatrical feature, with Paramount set to develop, produce, and distribute the film. The companies promise an unforgettable cinematic event and a blockbuster adaptation intended to honour Call of Duty's legacy. Unnamed sources indicate the agreement could allow expansion of the Call of Duty universe across both film and television. The deal valuation and production specifics have not been disclosed and no talent is currently attached. The agreement follows Paramount Global's merger with Skydance and reflects Hollywood's renewed push for live-action video game adaptations.
Paramount and Activision have signed a film deal to bring Call of Duty to movie theatres, days after a report claimed the companies were negotiating film rights for the popular first-person shooter franchise. As part of the deal, Paramount will develop, produce, and distribute a live-action feature film based on Call of Duty, promising an "unforgettable cinematic event" for fans of the video game series and new audiences.
"As a lifelong fan of Call of Duty this is truly a dream come true," Paramount CEO David Ellison said. From the first Allied campaigns in the original Call of Duty, through Modern Warfare and Black Ops, I've spent countless hours playing this franchise that I absolutely love. Being entrusted by Activision and players worldwide to bring this extraordinary storytelling universe to the big screen is both an honour and a responsibility that we don't take lightly," he added.
