Taylor Sheridan, best known for creating Yellowstone universe, is set to write a movie on Call of Duty with Peter Berg, as he will also direct the film.
The duo have been friends for decades, as their friendship also turned into collaboration on projects such as Hell or high waterwhich received four nominations at the Academy Awards.
The report comes on the heels of the filmmaker choosing NBCUniversal after working for years with Paramount. His deal with them begins in 2029.
It is unclear what the plot of the film is, but it is based on the very popular video game.
In other news, Taylor, who is behind the hit Yellowstone, is said to be at odds with the show’s lead star, Kevin Costner, over creative vision.
“Obviously, when Yellowstone started, it was Kevin’s show,” an insider previously shared Us Weekly. “He was the big star and the draw and everybody knew it.”
But the Oscar winner “felt like he was the authority on what made things feel authentic to the subject matter.”
Of this, the insider added: “Everything about this franchise is Taylor’s creation, his baby. So it was definitely an area of tension.”
“It’s fair to say there was a bit of a power struggle between Kevin and Taylor, especially as the seasons went on,” the source concluded.
