Extraction 2 director interested in a Call of Duty: Warzone movie Netflix\/ActivisionExtraction 2 director Sam Hargrave thinks there\u2019s \u201cpotential\u201d in a Call of Duty: Warzone movie. Chris Hemsworth returns as Tyler Rake in Extraction 2, a sequel to Netflix\u2019s most-watched original movie of all time. The film follows the Aussie mercenary after dragging himself back from the brink of death and taking on another suicide mission: rescuing a mother and her children from a blood-and-mortar Georgian prison. It ups the ante in almost every way, coming equipped with a whopper of a oner and some of the most crunching, cheer-worthy kills you\u2019ll see this year. Comparisons to the FPS series aren\u2019t new; one reviewer even described the first film as \u201cJohn Wick running a Call of Duty campaign mission.\u201d While the director isn\u2019t overly familiar with the games, he sees \u201cpotential\u201d in adapting Warzone into a movie. Extraction 2 director on possible Call of Duty: Warzone movie One Extraction 2 sequence feels like being dropped into downtown Verdansk as the gas is closing in: you\u2019ve got soldiers sniping out of choppers, juggernauts mowing people down, firefights on rooftops, and campers getting blown to pieces at the top of elevators. Dexerto spoke to Sam Hargrave ahead of the movie\u2019s release and asked if he was at all inspired by Warzone when orchestrating the chaos in the city. The answer: not really, but possibly. He explained: \u201cThe challenging part of this was\u2026 it\u2019s such a grand scale. There\u2019s so many different locations, and tying all those characters together in so many different locations and trying to keep a sense of space. You can get lost in that cityscape and, as an audience member, you go, \u2018Where am I, and what\u2019s happening?\u2019 \u201cI\u2019m actually loosely familiar with that IP, so it wasn\u2019t a huge inspiration for me. Now, I can\u2019t speak for the stunt team that helped design a lot of that stuff, or for Joe Russo when writing it \u2013 perhaps that was a huge inspiration, I don\u2019t know. \u201cBut for me, it was more about how do we do very interesting character-driven action set pieces within this larger action set piece that tells a grand story that all makes sense, and hopefully, audiences can keep some idea of where they are in that space.\u201d We then asked if he\u2019d be open to turning Warzone into a movie, as the whole sequence is a tremendous proof-of-concept, in our opinion. \u201cAnytime an IP exists that there\u2019s a huge fan base for and has a cinematic quality \u2013 like a Warzone-type thing \u2013 I think there\u2019s always potential there,\u201d he said. \u201cYou just have to find\u2026 what\u2019s the heart? What\u2019s the emotional hook that pulls people in and makes them want to engage for a 90-minute feature?\u201d Extraction 2 hits Netflix on June 16, 2023.
