Steven Spielberg really wanted to direct a 'Call of Duty' movie 🪖 • He's a gamer and plays CoD • He pitched his vision to Activision — wanted final cut and full control over production • Activision got spooked and then sold the rights to Paramount where they'd have more control (via Puck News)
What do they want control over? They got nothing to show for but a name to slap on any war/action movie for easy BO sales.
Imagine being idiots.
😂 Imagine not putting your faith in literally the most successful filmmaker of all time.
And them going to fucking PARAMOUNT instead
Guess they were not a fan of Saving Private Ryan.
Imagine someone in chat saying they shat on your mom, and it was Steven Spielberg.
What's his KDA?

Let’s be real, it probably had more to do with dividing up the cash than anything else.
He's a gamer... lol. He just likes war movies.
Way to be basic, Steve.
The concept of them getting spooked is silly to me idk why😭
Look, we all know Spielberg would try to cut down on the weed skins and we just can't have that
Paramount: World leader in kowtowing
Gordon Ramsey offers to make me lunch and I go “no thanks I’m good” and eat out of the trash
Only Activision would get an offer from the most successful filmmaker in living history and lose confidence, eh?
Wtf lol They will turn down Christopher Nolan next.
Haha exactly.
Wow, the guy who created the summer blockbuster wants to direct your movie, and your response is to turn around and run? 🤣🤣🤣
Spielberg plays COD!
Man, would I love to see what he would do. There are plenty of wrong ways to make a Call of Duty movie for sure, but Spielberg would crush it, especially given the world we find ourselves in today.
Steven Spielberg directing this movie would’ve been the only thing to keep me interested 😭
And here I thought that Activision couldn't get any more stupid
The Call Of Duty movie will print money but this is still a huge fail by Activision.
Halo's TV adaptation on Paramount+ may actually be a case study for, "we filled the money printer with jam and are solving it with more jam."
Fucking cowards lmao
How could they be so dumb...? They turned down Steven Spielberg? Really?? That would've been an easy W... Good movie, good box office.
imagining the person yelling slurs at me is one of the most famous directors ever
Idiots...
How the hell do you turn down Steven Spielberg?!!!
Money. They want to get more money from a shit movie, than share it with Spielberg. Risky, but a choice.
It's not even for actual money it's for the pretend money they made up in their head
Sounds like Spielberg wants to be the James Gunn of that franchise. And they weren’t havin it.
Watch Spielberg direct a war movie to be released just in time to fight agains COD movie! 🤣
You turned down the man who directed Saving Private Ryan?!?!!??!!!!?
They were sure if he could make a war movie.
The stupidest thing is that the original medal of honor on ps1 was a videogame adaptation of saving private Ryan without calling it that and created the market for ww2 military shooter that would even give grounds for the start of... Call of Duty
Spielberg didn't just direct one of the best known military movies in living memory he also literally created the sub genre/market of shooter that led to call of duty in the first place this is a Russian nesting doll of stupid
Bloody Muppets, Activision be shooting itself in the foot
Not wanting the greatest filmmaker of all time to make a movie out of your game is actually insane
I need to watch a lets play of Steven Spielberg playing COD cause my mind truly cannot comprehend it
