A new report suggests Paramount\u2019s upcoming Call of Duty movie<\/strong> will unfold in a modern-day setting. Taylor Sheridan<\/strong> and Peter Berg are officially developing the live-action adaptation for the studio. The update follows renewed progress on the long-awaited project, which is being positioned as one of Paramount\u2019s next major franchise ventures.<\/p>\n According to a scoop shared by insider @MyTimeToShineHello on X<\/a> (formerly Twitter), the film will take place in a modern-day setting. Sheridan, known for Yellowstone and Sicario, will write the screenplay, while Berg, recognized for Lone Survivor and Deepwater Horizon, will direct and co-write. Both will also produce the project alongside David Glasser of 101 Studios.<\/p>\n Sheridan\u2019s involvement follows reports of his upcoming move from Paramount to NBCUniversal, but the studio secured his commitment before his departure. The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> noted that the adaptation marks one of Paramount\u2019s biggest franchise ambitions, aligning Sheridan and Berg\u2019s expertise in grounded military and tactical storytelling with the long-running video-game series.<\/p>\n The Call of Duty franchise has sold over 500 million copies since its 2003 debut. It has remained the top-selling U.S. video-game series for 16 years. The games cover multiple eras, including World War II, Vietnam, the Cold War, and futuristic conflicts. The rumored modern-day setting would align with some of its most popular titles, such as Modern Warfare.<\/p>\n Paramount confirmed earlier this year that Sheridan and Berg would lead the project. The studio described it as its most high-profile game adaptation to date. Paramount has not announced any plot details or casting, but Sheridan and Berg are already co-writing the film, with Berg directing.<\/p>\n Sheridan and Berg previously collaborated on Hell or High Water and Wind River. Their reunion for Call of Duty comes as Paramount continues expanding its major-franchise lineup ahead of Sheridan\u2019s NBCUniversal transition.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Anubhav Chaudhry on SuperHeroHype<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Call of Duty Movie\u2019s Plot Setting Revealed in New Rumor<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new report suggests Paramount\u2019s upcoming Call of Duty movie will unfold in a modern-day setting.
