Taylor Sheridan Is Writing Paramount’s Call of Duty Movie

Even though he’s moving to NBCUniversal , Taylor Sheridan is still working with Paramount. He’s going to write a movie adaptation of the popular video game Call of Duty , reports THR . Peter Berg, who’s directing the film, will be co-writing the project alongside Sheridan — the two are close friends and have worked together before on the movies Hell or High Water and Wind River . The duo will produce the film with David Glasser, who runs Sheridan’s production company 101 Studios. As one of the biggest video game franchises ever, Call of Duty is a huge win for Sheridan and Berg. The game is a first-person shooter that typically takes place in real-life war settings, like WWII and the Cold War; the series as a whole has sold over 500 million copies. Rumors of a COD movie
