Saving Private Ryan, also the creator of Medal of Honour, which actually directly led to Call of Duty being a thing in the first place because people from that team left to form Infinity Ward and created Call of Duty as a direct rival to Medal of Honour. Legendary filmmaker who is a big fan of Call of Duty but Activision seems to think CoD is Mona Lisa or something, Lmao.
I can understand sometimes not wanting to give up creative control but come on, it's Call of Duty...I can't possibly think of a way that Steven Spielberg could damage the Call of Duty brand, and the Paramount film is likely to be dogshit anyway, at least Spielberg has a high chance of making it an actually good film. What were they so worried about? They've already got multiple different CoDs with multiple different storylines, they've got grounded CoDs and futuristic CoDs to Zombies! There's whacky shit in the Campaigns and fucking Beavis and Butthead in the MP. Steven Spielberg I imagine would have told a grounded story with some emotion and not went insane with it.
