The upcoming Call of Duty<\/em> movie is apparently so amazing that the powers that be have greenlit a sequel. With the crew behind it not even beginning production yet, Variety<\/a> reports that studio Activision Blizzard Studios, a thing that I am finding out about for the first time right now, already wants a screenplay for a sequel at the ready. The studio has hired Joe Robert Cole, the co-screenwriter of Black Panther<\/a><\/em>.<\/p> Along with working with Ryan Coogler on the acclaimed Marvel Studios film, Cole also co-produced and wrote for The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story<\/em>—he is currently working on the Netflix film All Day and a Night<\/em>, which he wrote and directed. Meanwhile, Sicario: Day of the Soldado<\/a><\/em> director Stefano Sollima is directing the first Call of Duty<\/em> movie<\/a>, based on a screenplay by Snowden<\/a><\/em> screenwriter Kieran Fitzgerald.<\/span><\/p> It’s a curious show of confidence, and as we reported before, the producers behind this project intend this to be a full cinematic universe. On one hand, it could make sense, with the different Call of Duty<\/em> subseries (Modern Warfare<\/em>, Black Ops<\/em>, and so on) possibly working as their own film franchises. On the other hand… in the end, wouldn’t a film adaptation of a Call of Duty<\/em> game just be a generic war movie?<\/p> Modern Call of Duty<\/em> games are pretty much based on Band of Brothers<\/em> or dumb action flicks, so depending on the time period we might end up with an infinite feedback loop here. But whatever, I can’t wait to see movie billboards telling me to stay frosty and keep my boots on the ground.<\/p>
