Call of Duty the movie is now in development with Activision Blizzard.
This Friday marked the release of the latest Call of Duty video game Call of Duty Black Ops 3. After selling millions upon millions of copies in the last decade, producers are interested in expanding the franchise by creating a Call of Duty movie.
According to a recent report by the Hollywood Reporter, Activision Blizzard, the owners behind Call of Duty are currently planning and developing a Call of Duty movie.
From THR:
Very high on the to-do list is adapting Call of Duty, one of the biggest video games of all time and one that the company is hoping turn into a cinematic universe. Activision said Friday that the first Call of Duty movie could be released in 2018 or 2019.
Beyond that company execs were mum on their plans, but it’s easy to see how a universe could be created. When the first-person shooter games were initially released, they were set in World War II. Later, they were updated to be set in modern times. The more recent games, released in this decade, have been set in the near future.
Reports suggest that the first Call of Duty movie will hit theaters in 3 to 4 years from now. But, details surrounding the production have not been released.
This is a pretty smart idea. Call of Duty franchise has sold over 175 million copies and has millions of dedicated fans who will throw their parent’s hard earned money at anything Call of Duty related.
In addition to creating Call of Duty movies, Activision Blizzard is also planning on expanding their portfolio by creating other content including an animated series called Skylanders featuring Justin Long and Ashley Tisdale. In addition to other featured content.
I would bet that producers are also considering creating a Call of Duty zombies series due to the popularity and money surrounding the Walking Dead franchise.
Stay tuned for more call of duty news.
