Video games Call to Duty, World of Warcraft and Guitar Hero are lining up to be turned into films. According to THR, publisher Activision has been been holding discussions about bringing the first-person shooter to the big screen.
“They are being talked about for the big screen,” said one person with knowledge of the details. Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick wouldn’t comment on the status of a “Warcraft” movie or speculation that “Duty” would also become a film.
The Call of Duty series so far has five installments, four set in World War II and one in the present day. The first-person-shooters allow you to play alone or in a multiplayer mode in different combat styles and battles.
Legendary Pictures (300, The Dark Knight) is the company that holds the rights to World of Warcraft, but they haven’t done much with it so far. It remains to be seen if they may be the ones interested in the Call of Duty license as well.

What would you like to see happen in a Call Of Duty movie?
thatd b coool
The call of duty movie idea would be OK, personally i feel making a popular game into a movie would be a bad idea. Like zero movies of a game have made it successful, or even games of the movie. They REALLY suck.
awesome it would be freakin awesome cause there are no moder war movies out there
I would personally like to see a call of duty movie but it has to be done right with no bad choice directors and a credible story line much the same as the games. anonymous has a point at the bottom there isnt any modern war films around just now apart from fictional like gi joe e.t.c. ….. any movie can be made good just got to be in the right hands :)
Im guessing you guys havent seen blackhawk down
seen generation kill?
I’d be up for a CoD movie, but I agree with GAZZM–it’s gotta be done right :)
Their storyline in campaign is amazing, I think a movie would place them high in box office, but with a good director.
Ridley Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer would be good to do a Call of Duty Movie
CoD WaW nazi zombies movie with a good director good actors and the storyline from the game=frikin amazingly epic
