Despite news breaking over the weekend that Sheridan would soon be moving on and relocating his TV and Film deal to NBCUniversal, he’s first going to tackle what is meant to be a major tentpole blockbuster for the studio. Sheridan will write the adaptation of the live-action feature film based on the “Call of Duty” war video game franchise, Paramount announced Thursday. Peter Berg, the director of films like “Lone Survivor,” “Patriot’s Day,” and “Deepwater Horizon” and the creator of “Friday Night Lights,” will direct the film and co-write the script with Sheridan. Berg also produced both of Sheridan’s scripts for “Hell or High Water” and “Wind River.” Sheridan, Berg, and Sheridan’s frequent collaborator David Glasser will all produce the film. Paramount announced the “Call of Duty” movie would be in the works early last month and is developing it with game maker Activision. “Call of Duty” is one of the most successful video game franchises of all-time, being the best selling game series in the U.S. for 16 consecutive years and selling over 500 million copies globally across its many iterations.
