How does a
Call of Duty movie sound? No, not like the two minute trailer that
made its debut yesterday, but a real motion picture?
In late September, Activision filed a
trademark for
Call of Duty in relation to "pre-recorded movies feature comedy, drama, action, adventure, music, theatrical performances and/or animation." Back in May, the
Hollywood Reporter ran a story stating that its sources had hinted at knowledge of a
Guitar Hero television series, the since-announced
World of Warcraft film, and -- you guessed it -- a
Call of Duty movie.
If the film does come to fruition, we wonder if it'll take the World War II or the "modern warfare" slant. If it's the latter, they should give
Hans Zimmer a call again. Oh, and they might want to lay off the nazi zombie angle;
that's old news.

In English: fuck that noise.
Your mom's a header typo? I've got nothing... thanks for the heads up. :D
Also, two Call of Duty stories in a row? Activision's check hasn't even cleared yet!
COD games are all well and good on delivering a solid story and experience, but.a feature length narrative can't sustain itself on combat scenes alone. Add into that that none of the COD game have ever tried to branch out into non-combat narrative that isn't told in fancy After Effects style animations.
But not to direct, but rather to throw off of a cliff during the opening sequence of the film. And no stunt doubles, either.
It's either video game movies or re-makes. I was at Zombieland and saw the trailer for the Friday the 13th relaunch. It looked ok, but seeing the name Micheal Bay attached made me die inside.
Anyways... Just like Asteroids being a really dumb idea, World of Warcraft movie, Gears of War, adding Call of Duty is just plain retarded. Game movies can not and never will deliver the same impact and experience a game can to the end user.
Then again no one is forcing me to see this, but what makes me mad is some people will make a shit ton of cash off ripping off a game idea and giving mindless movie goers another stinking pile of crap...
With that said, Metal Gear Solid had better be religious. It had better be sanctified.
Then it would still be terrible. It doesn't matter what you do, how much of a fan you are, it'll still be a horrible idea.
"sir, my martydom-add, sir"
MGS movie?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808372/ check this^^
I wouldn't mind something gritty and fast paced like the actual single player.
