I keep a pretty close eye on all the games Hollywood is turning into movies, and I'm well aware that just because a development deal is struck doesn't mean a film will ever get made. Take the Just Cause movie, which was , or the Beyond Good and Evil film announced in 2020 that is just as MIA as .
So when a was announced last month, I figured there was a chance we might not hear about it for a while—or maybe not ever again.
Sheridan is a huge get—NBCUniversal reportedly spent to woo him away from Paramount starting in 2029—and as a result Call of Duty is suddenly looking like a huge movie.
Regardless of casting, I have a smidge of hope the Call of Duty script might not be pure dreck: Sheridan also wrote solid bank robbery flick Hell or High Water and excellent action thrillers Wind River (which he also directed) and Sicario. On the other hand, Berg already has a game adaptation [[link]] under his belt—and it's Battleship. Let's hope this videogame makes a better movie than that board game did.
