\n\tMcQuarrie is attached to write, direct and produce a feature adaptation of Battlefield, the military video game from Electronic Arts, while Jordan is attached to produce and possibly star, depending on several factors.<\/p>\n
\n\tThis hot package, which also includes EA as a producer, is currently before studios, who are already marshaling their interest.<\/p>\n
\n\tSources tell The Hollywood Reporter that McQuarrie and several others pitched studios and streamers such as Apple and Sony Thursday with other meetings occurring Friday. Those involved are prioritizing a theatrical release so it is unclear if Netflix will be on the meetings list. <\/p>\n
\n\tIt is unclear when bidding will commence, but studio business affairs execs better gird their loins for this one. It will not be cheap. Talent costs will be one thing, but even getting rights to the game will be pricey.<\/p>\n
\n\tBattlefield first launched in 2002 as a World War Two game titled Battlefield 1942. And over the next two decades, the games became more ambitious and elaborate, set in various time periods, even the future.<\/p>\n
\n\tBattlefield 6, the 18th game and latest of the series, was released last year and was set about two years into the future and featured a splintered NATO as one of the sides fighting. Reportedly one of the most expensive games ever made, it became not only the biggest seller in the franchise\u2019s history but the top game of 2025, finally eclipsing Call of Duty<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tBattlefield 6<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBattlefield\/YouTube<\/p>\n \n\tBattlefield is sometimes compared to Call of Duty, the other long-running military first-person shooter game and one of the most popular games of all time. The two are hardened fighters in the trenches for top spot in the video game field and now the two may be forced to fight for cinematic supremacy, too. A Call of Duty feature is currently a top priority development at Skydance-owned Paramount, with Taylor Sheridan co-writing the script and Peter Berg on board to captain. It is unclear whether McQuarrie and company will meet with Paramount regarding Battlefield. <\/p>\n \n\tMcQuarrie is repped by CAA while Jordan is repped by WME and 1v1 Entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the week comes to a close, the groundwork is being laid for what could be the biggest…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":604140,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[36260,20807,88,18924,21959],"class_list":{"0":"post-604139","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-call-of-duty","9":"tag-christopher-mcquarrie","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-michael-b-jordan","12":"tag-sinners"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604139\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/604140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-hollywoodreporter-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\")
