Don't get your hopes up for a movie based on the Call of Duty games. Activision CEO Bobby Kotick said in a recent interview that the company has no interest in adapting their FPS series for the big screen.
According to an article in the New York Times (via /Film), several studios have approached Activision about turning COD into a feature film, but the company has turned down their requests. As Kotick put it, "movies based on video games rarely please devoted fans and could taint the brand."
Activision's own success with the Call of Duty franchise has certainly earned them more than enough money to justify a cold shoulder regarding the movie studios. Whether or not a film would "taint the brand," of course, is up for discussion. But it's fair to say the game series' story isn't something that needs to be realized in any other medium, for now.
In any case, it sounds like a Call of Duty movie is not in the cards for Activision.
