Give it to Michael bay. That would be a good fit for a cod movie
Pick any war movie and it's a CoD movie. This is stupid
Soo a generic usa war movie...xf
If they are actually going to closely follow the storyline of one of the games, preferably CoD 4, I could see it being good. But if it's just a generic action/war movie with the Call of Duty name slapped on it, it then just becomes Paramount trying to cash in on the name "Call of Duty".
Kinda wonder where such a thing will go. CoD's campaigns are so all over the place now.
"As a lifelong fan of Call of Duty this is truly a dream come true," said Paramount chairman and CEO David Ellison.
Seeing as they can literally make any action/army movie at any point; I can only assume it's David's dream to title a movie "Call of Duty".....because if that isn't it then his dream is stupid lol
