According to Puck News, famous director Stephen Spielberg (Jaws, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park) wants to participate in the film adaptation from Call of Duty. And he even managed to provide his vision about the film.
Spielberg itself, according to his son and other “witnesses”, is still a gamer. He loves PC-Gaming and Call of Duty in particular.
However, Activision refused the candidate of the director. The reason is that Spielberg asked him to be given the complete creative control.
It is known that the terms of the Spielberg agreement include: Maximum finance, finally (the director himself decided what was included in the film) and control and marketing. Spielberg himself, according to his son, is also a gamer, and he loves Gaming PC and the mission call series.
Activision, belonging to Microsoft, does not seem very attractive, so the rights for COD adapted from the film have been transferred to Paramount (Top Top Gan: Maverik ,, Sonic Sonic in the cinema). And now the publisher is more influential in the upcoming film and the overall development of franchise in the film industry.
