Taylor Sheridan and Peter Berg have found their next action-packed collaboration: a feature film adaptation of *Call of Duty*.

** has learned that the *Yellowstone* creator and *Friday Night Lights *writer-director have signed on to produce the film alongside Paramount and Activision, the video game publisher behind the blockbuster game. Sheridan and Berg will also co-write the script together, with Berg set to direct.

Sheridan, best known for creating a vast empire of television shows that began with *Yellowstone*, has teamed up with Berg in the past. Together, the longtime friends produced 2017's *Wind River* — which recently enjoyed a resurgence on streaming — and 2016's *Hell or Highwater*, which earned four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Screenplay.

As far as their action capabilities, Sheridan previously penned *Sicario* and its sequel, while Berg directed espionage thriller *Mile 22*, war film *Lone Survivor*, and action-comedy *Spenser Confidential*.

The* Call of Duty *franchise has been the No. 1 best-selling video game series in the U.S. for 16 consecutive years, with over 500 million copies sold globally and reaching hundreds of millions of players worldwide. No plot or character details have been announced for the upcoming movie, though the filmmakers certainly won't lack inspiration. The series has seen dozens of releases across the years, with the first-person shooter games typically following a group or individual in the midst of a military conflict. Settings have ranged from the Cold War and World War II to fictional, futuristic timelines.

News of a* Call of Duty *movie emerged earlier this year, with *Puck* reporting that Paramount had turned down a pitch from Steven Spielberg to adapt the game into a feature film.

Sheridan's latest Paramount collaboration comes on the heels of a major shakeup in his TV empire: the *Yellowstone* creator is departing the studio after inking a five-year overall deal for film, TV, and streaming with NBCUniversal. Starting in 2029, Sheridan will be creating new IP for the network.
