Call of Duty: A New Chapter in Movies and Gaming

USAFri Oct 31 2025

A Powerhouse Collaboration

Taylor Sheridan is teaming up with Peter Berg to create a live-action movie based on the popular video game "Call of Duty." This collaboration brings together two experienced filmmakers who know how to craft intense, action-packed stories.

  • Sheridan, known for his work on "Yellowstone" and "Sicario," will co-write the script.
  • Berg, who has directed films like "Deepwater Horizon" and "Lone Survivor," will join him.

Both have a knack for creating gripping narratives that keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

A Joint Venture Between Paramount and Activision

The movie is a joint venture between Paramount and Activision, the company behind the "Call of Duty" video game series. This isn't just any video game; it's a franchise that has released over 30 mainline games since its debut in 2003.

  • Famous for its first-person shooter style, the game puts players right in the middle of the action.
  • This could be a big deal for movie lovers and gamers alike, opening up new possibilities for future films and TV shows set in the "Call of Duty" universe.

A Track Record of Success

Sheridan and Berg are not new to producing movies that involve a lot of action and suspense.

  • Sheridan's TV shows like "Yellowstone" and "Lioness" have been huge hits, and his films like "Hell or High Water" have earned critical acclaim.
  • Berg, on the other hand, has directed movies that focus on heroism and warfare, such as "Hancock" and "Patriots Day."

Their combined expertise could make this "Call of Duty" movie something special.

The Future of Video Game Adaptations

While the plot details of the movie are still under wraps, the success of other video game adaptations like "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Super Mario Bros." shows that turning games into movies can be a winning formula.

  • This project could be a great opportunity for Paramount to expand its portfolio in the gaming and film industry.
  • It will be interesting to see how they bring the intense, fast-paced action of "Call of Duty" to the big screen.
