Well folks, I think we all saw this coming. Every blockbuster game is getting the movie treatment. I honestly don’t mind it for COD because I always thought the story lines were EXTREMLY movie friendly. With Activision already in talks for a World Of Warcraft movie and a Concert or Tv series for Guitar hero why not throw in another one of their best selling games for the movie treatment. Heres a quote taken directly from /film

The game series seeks to represent American, Soviet and British perspectives, a blend which is unusual in typical war pictures and could make for an interesting underlying premise to the adaptation. The occasional level of the game that requires the player character to ‘go it alone’ might make for good gameplay but would have to be handled sensibly in the film to avoid evoking infuriating ‘John Wayne’ heroics.

If Inglourious Basterds is a smash, which I sincereley hope it will be, we might see Call of Duty getting an easy greenlight. If, on the other hand, Basterds bombs there’s a fair chance of all world war related treatments, scripts and licenses getting swept off the table and into the circular file. This is hardly an amazing feat of perspicacity, I know. I’m really just parrotting the accepted wisdom on studio development cycles but while Call of Duty is in early development like this, it seems the appropriate context to quote.

I see it happening no matter how good Inglourious Basterds does solely do to the enormous following that the Call Of Duty series has. I guess time will tell and if this does end up happening hopefully they don’t screw it up.
