In its latest big movie to ramp up the pipeline, David Ellison’s Paramount Pictures has struck a deal with Activision to adapt the video game smash Call Of Duty.
Paramount will develop, produce, and distribute a live-action feature film based on the action games franchise, which has been the top-selling series in the US for 16 consecutive years, selling more than 500m units worldwide.
Ellison professed himself a lifelong fan, adding: “We’re approaching this film with the same disciplined, uncompromising commitment to excellence that guided our work on Top Gun: Maverick, ensuring it meets the exceptionally high standards this franchise and its fans deserve.”
The studio recently struck a multi-year exclusive deal with Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers to create film, television, and streaming projects.
It is reportedly exploring a distribution pact with Legendary films, and acquired the High Side heist feature package that reunites James Mangold with his A Complete Unknown star Timothée Chalamet.
