Call of Duty movie unlikely

4.7
Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has said that despite the campaign for Call of Duty being very cinematic, he has no interest in making the franchise into a movie.

Kotick has already turned down multiple requests from various studios that have offered to turn gamings biggest franchise into a movie. Kotick says movies based on video games rarely please devoted fans and could taint the brand.

Call of Duty makes up an estimated one-third of Activision’s more than $4 billion in annual revenue, so they certainly wouldn't want to do anything that could cause it harm.

Game-to-Movie adaptations have never worked very well, but if anyone knows of one that was actually good then please let us know.

FPS_Ryan Call of Duty does not follow one story line so I don't see how they would make a movie out of it anyways. I do think that it would be really awesome seeing the maps coming to life in a movie though.


They wouldn't try to replicate the maps

It would be Activision/Treyarch's Campaign, not Infinity Ward's portion of the game. What do you mean maps? It would've been based off campaign.
