Modern Warfare and Black Ops, I've spent countless hours playing this
franchise that I absolutely love. Being entrusted by Activision and players
worldwide to bring this extraordinary storytelling universe to the big screen
is both an honor and a responsibility that we don't take lightly. We're
approaching this film with the same disciplined, uncompromising commitment to
excellence that guided our work on Top Gun: Maverick, ensuring it meets the
exceptionally high standards this franchise and its fans deserve. I can
promise that we are resolute in our mission to deliver a cinematic experience
that honors the legacy of this one-in-a-million brand -- thrilling longtime
fans of Call of Duty while captivating a whole new generation." Rob Kostich,
President of Activision, also commented: "Throughout its history, Call of
Duty has captured our imagination with incredible action and intense stories
that have brought millions of people together from around the world, and that
focus on making incredible Call of Duty games remains unwavering. With
Paramount, we have found a fantastic partner who we will work with to take
that visceral, breathtaking action to the big screen in a defining cinematic
moment. The film will honor and expand upon what has made this franchise
great in the first place, and we cannot wait to get started. Our shared goal
is quite simple -- to create an unforgettable blockbuster movie experience
that our community loves, and one that also excites and inspires new fans of
the franchise."
