Very high on the to-do list is adapting Call of Duty, one of the biggest video games of all time and one that the company is hoping turn into a cinematic universe. Activision said Friday that the first Call of Duty movie could be released in 2018 or 2019.
Beyond that company execs were mum on their plans, but it's easy to see how a universe could be created. When the first-person shooter games were initially released, they were set in World War II. Later, they were updated to be set in modern times. The more recent games, released in this decade, have been set in the near future.
The series has sold over 175 million copies, generating sales of over $10 billion, according to the company.
With numbers like that, it’s no surprise that Hollywood has for years tried to nab screen rights to the title, as well as other games. Sony was among those vying, but Kotick said the company is not in talks with any studio at this time. Nor is he focusing on any distribution deals.
“Our focus will continue to be maintaining creative control over our content, and we’ll address distribution once we are in the place where we feel like we’re delivering the very best story-based content,” he said.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
