Paramount Reportedly Seeks Call of Duty Movie Rights
Paramount Pictures is reportedly in talks to acquire the rights to adapt the Call of Duty video game franchise into a live-action movie, with the project considered a priority for the studio’s leadership. The franchise, known for its cinematic storytelling and iconic characters such as Captain Price, spans various settings from World War II to futuristic battles, though it is unclear which storyline the film would follow. This move follows Paramount's success with video game adaptations like Sonic the Hedgehog, and their interest in other franchises such as Street Fighter. While fan reactions have been mixed, with some skepticism due to the recent poor reception of war movies and other game adaptations like Borderlands, industry insiders view this as a promising development in the evolving landscape of video game media adaptations. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer emphasized that any adaptation should respect the core of the franchise and offer a unique creative perspective, highlighting the importance of thoughtful storytelling in such projects. No official confirmation or attached talent has been announced yet, and the potential release date for the film is speculated to be around 2028.
