Paramount and Microsoft-owned video game publisher Activision signed an agreement to bring the Call of Duty video game franchise to the big screen. As part of the deal, Paramount will develop, produce, and distribute a live-action film based on the massive Call of Duty universe. The franchise has had over 30 mainline games since the original CoD came out in 2003.
Financial details of the deal were not disclosed. While the agreement is focused on one blockbuster movie, sources told Variety there is potential for Paramount to expand into more films and shows based on the game.
