Taylor Sheridan and Peter Berg will co-write the script for Paramount Skydance\u2019s live-action feature film adaptation of \u201cCall of Duty.\u201d Berg, whose credits include \u201cFriday Night Lights\u201d and \u201cDeepwater Horizon,\u201d will also direct.<\/p>\n

The deal comes the week that news broke that Sheridan, one of the company\u2019s biggest hitmakers, will move his overall pact to NBCUniversal in 2029. It appears that Paramount Skydance will keep him busy until then and the subject matter sounds right up Sheridan\u2019s alley given his penchant for action-heavy thrillers and procedurals.<\/p>\n

Sheridan is the creator of \u201cYellowstone,\u201d which has spawned the successful spinoffs, \u201c1883\u201d and \u201c1923.\u201d He also created \u201cLioness,\u201d \u201cLandman,\u201d \u201cTulsa King\u201d and \u201cMayor of Kingstown.\u201d On the film front, Sheridan earned an Oscar nomination for writing \u201cHell or High Water\u201d and also penned \u201cWind River,\u201d \u201cSicario\u201d and its sequel, \u201cSicario: Day of the Soldado.\u201d<\/p>\n

Berg\u2019s other credits include \u201cHancock,\u201d \u201cLone Survivor,\u201d \u201cPatriots Day\u201d and \u201cBattleship.\u201d Like Sheridan, he\u2019s no stranger to orchestrating warfare on screen or dramatizing stories of heroism.<\/p>\n

\u201cCall of Duty\u201d is backed by Microsoft-owned video game publisher\u00a0Activision<\/a>. It encompasses more than 30 mainline games released since the original \u201cCall of Duty\u201d debuted in 2003. When the deal to make a movie was announced in September, sources said that while the pact is focused on making one \u201cCall of Duty\u201d movie, the deal includes the potential for Paramount to expand the \u201cCall of Duty\u201d universe across film and TV.<\/p>\n

Plot details for the \u201cCall of Duty\u201d film haven\u2019t been revealed, but the wildly popular video game is a first-person shooter military series. Paramount has had success adapting games into movies, turning \u201cSonic the Hedgehog\u201d into a major film and streaming franchise. Video games have also inspired such recent blockbusters as \u201cSuper Mario Bros.\u201d and \u201cA Minecraft Movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
