Berg and Sheridan will co-write the script and produce together,
with Berg directing. The longtime friends previously
collaborated on “Hell or High Water,” which received four Oscar
nominations, and “Wind River.”
The film will be live action, but no other details about the
“Call of Duty” movie were immediately available. The
first-person shooter game, which debuted in 2003 as a World War
II simulation, has sold over 500 million copies globally.
Subsequent versions have delved into modern warfare as well.
The news of Sheridan’s involvement in a new Paramount project
came as a bit of a surprise to the industry. Earlier this week,
reports said that the “Yellowstone” creator was leaving
Paramount for an overall film and television deal at
NBCUniversal valued at some $1 billion across five years.
Representatives for NBCUniversal declined to comment.
The announcement also comes on the heels of mass layoffs at
Paramount, just months after completing its $8 billion merger
with Skydance. Paramount initiated roughly 1,000 of a planned
2,000 layoffs company-wide on Wednesday.
