Deadline Hollywood has exclusively broken that Sheridan, the creator of the Paramount drama Yellowstone, and Berg, who directed Friday Night Lights, The Rundown and Hancock, have boarded the feature adaptation of Activision’s Call of Duty franchise that Paramount is attached to distribute.

Sources tell the trade that Berg will direct the film from a screenplay co-written by him and Sheridan, the latter of whom is also producing alongside David Glasser. Glasser was a former aide to fallen media mogul and convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein. This is notably his first film project since a failed attempt to restructure Weinstein’s former production studio The Weinstein Company back in 2018, but he has collaborated with Sheridan on his prior TV productions like Yellowstone.

Sheridan and Berg’s involvement in the film had been an element of the production Deadline was keeping tabs on since this past summer. The pair previously collaborated on Hell or High Water starring Chris Pine and Ben Foster, a neo-Western much like Yellowstone about two brothers attempting to save their family ranch by committing robberies and being trailed by Texas Rangers. The film won Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay for Sheridan at the following Academy Awards. Both have independently worked on stories involving the military, such as Sheridan’s Paramount+ series Lioness and Berg’s 2013 film Lone Survivor, which as the trade points out, could make them natural fits for handling Call of Duty.
