As Variety shares, while Paramount's deal is specifically to develop, produce, and distribute a single COD feature, the potential is very much there for a movie to spawn a shared universe encompassing both the big and small screen if successful. And despite previous failed attempts to get a Call Of Duty movie off the ground elsewhere (Sicario 2 director Stefano Sollima had, at one time, been recruited to direct a movie with Tom Hardy and Chris Pine eyed to lead), there's no shortage of reasons to believe a live-action movie based on the series could work. Who can forget Gary Oldman's Viktor Reznov in World At War? Or how about John Malkovich, Helena Bonham Carter, Bill Paxton, Jon Bernthal, Katee Sackhoff, and Malcom McDowell, just a few of the stars who've lent their likenesses to the games' Zombie off-shoots over the years. If the games alone can attract that kind of star power, it bodes well for any big-screen project's prospects.
