I liked Jai Courtney in Suicide Squad.
I also liked Jai Courtney in Terminator Genysis.
I also liked Suicide Squad.
I also liked Terminator Genysis.

I have not seen Die Hard 5, and it cannot possibly be more boring than Die Hard 1.

I dunno, Die Hard is pretty good, family member or loved one of Jai Courtney.

god damn...shit ass taste in action movies dude.

speaking of Die Hard tho I'd kill for John McTiernan to make this Call of Duty movie. as long as it didn't flop. I wanna see him take on an action flick again, it's been so long.

So Forward Unto Dawn then. Unless they take a big risk. But at the rate at which the franchise is losing mindshare in the public (relatively quickly), the longer the wait the less they'll get as a return.

Should have been done 5 years ago at the latest.


More on topic; COD4/MW2 would be great flicks if done properly. COD4 especially has a lot of unique set pieces that may translate well onto camera, and unlike MW2 it isn't 100% Red Dawn implausible.

Forward Unto Dawn had an $8.5m to $10m budget. They could definitely do a good bit higher than that at least. Something in the $60-90m range even. But if I remember correctly, back in the day MS was wanting a budget that would put it among one of the most expensive films ever.

You're right though, it really should have happened sooner, and it's just going to get harder now.

As far as these CoD movies go, the thing is... I don't really get the point. It's going to be like Battleship or Ouija. It's going to be an "adaptation" in name only. It's just going to be a war movie from a less talented director than usual. I get why Activision wants to milk it, but still.

I've played (almost) every COD game going back to the original, and I couldn't name a single character.

You're the January Jones of opinions.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

So, is Michael Bay directing these?

Also, would've been MORE interested in a CoD Zombies CU than a regular CoD CU.

[PhantomZone]

I can already tell that they will aim for Saving Private Ryan............... but end up with Jardhead 3 in terms of quality

Shut this off, shut this all off.

 

[Hitman]

Does COD even have a storyline or characters? It's just going to be a generic soldier dudes with guns movie?

Verbatim repeat of when I said Last Airbender was a better movie than the show. No shame.

 

[FairyD]

Feel like this film series is going to be like that bad film Act of Valor.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Activision...stop before it is too late. D:

I played online back in the day with friends. Never jumped into the single player, but if I had wouldn't it just be random soldier dudes ca other random soldier dudes with a storyline?

Couldn't you say the same thing about Enemy at the Gates or the Thin Red Line or Saving Private Ryan?

1. Find the tone and heart of what makes the game exciting.
2. Write a great action or war story.
3. Find a director who can marry those things together into something that's better than the sum of its parts.
4. Cast the COD equivalent of Robert Downey Jr.

 

[Volimar]

A Metro film would be neat. Did they ever make one in Russia?
