Activision provide unfortunate update on Call of Duty movie plans ActivisionThe Call of Duty movie may be added to the Hollywood kill-feed after comments by the film\u2019s director Stefano Sollima. Sollima, who is best known for directing Sicario: Day of the Soldado, the sequel to 2015\u2019s action thriller, made some comments about the state of the film with Italian movie site Badtaste. \u201cWe wrote the script with Scott Silver,\u201d Sollima said, noting the screenwriter\u2019s worker on Joker. \u201cLet\u2019s say that the idea of expanding the universe, the world of Call of Duty\u2026 is no longer (at the moment) an industrial priority of the group, of Activision.\u201d According to the Italian filmmaker, the film is now in \u201climbo.\u201d \u201cNow we see,\u201d he said, noting how many films in Hollywood end up in this state. This is unfortunate considering the talent that was on the table to bring Call of Duty to life as a feature film. Considering how Joker was critically well-received and made over a billion dollars in the box office, Silver could have provided a huge boost to the CoD film\u2019s credibility. Sollima too was familiar with Call of Duty. In a 2018 interview with Polygon, he talked about playing the game with his kids. In fact, the director played or watched \u201calmost everything they did in the last seven years\u201d with the CoD franchise. During that interview, he remarked how he wanted to make a soldier film and \u201cnot a war movie\u201d after he was finished with Call of Duty. He may be getting his wish still in his upcoming film: Without Remorse is based on the Tom Clancy novel of the same name starring Creed star Michael B. Jordan as a Navy Seal. With the success of video game movies as of late such as Tomb Raider and the newly-released Sonic movie, it will be interesting to see if Activision decide to move forward with the project or if they decide to cancel it altogether. If they do end up wanting to do the film, the plans for it probably won\u2019t be put in motion until a few years from now at the very least, making this a stronger possibility for the second half of the decade. As always, we will continue to bring you the latest on this as more information becomes available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
