The Call of Duty movie will explore "the cost of war" and probably won't be as graphically violent as director Peter Berg's upcoming Netflix film, The Mosquito Bowl.
The short version
- In an interview with ComicBook , Berg, who is directing from a script by Taylor Sheridan, said the Modern Warfare games the film draws on are about more than shooting.
- He described the characters - Captain Price, Soap, Ghost, and Alex - as "complicated humans", not "cartoon characters or comic books", and said there's "a real soul" beneath the violence.
- Berg's Mosquito Bowl, a Second World War drama inspired by a real 1944 football match between Marines in the Pacific, arrives on Netflix on 25th November.
What happened
The Call of Duty movie is due in cinemas on 30th June 2028. A former long-time Call of Duty developer recently called out Activision executives profiteering from the re-release of games like Black Ops 1 and 2 , whereas the developers who contributed "blood, sweat, and tears" to make them gained nothing.
Why it matters
"Why the f**k would they add a perk like that?" - Modern Warfare 4 DMZ players are up in arms over the ability to self-revive.
