Electronic Arts has officially given the green light to a film adaptation of the popular Battlefield series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the company has already begun negotiations with several major studios for the project.
The film is being shot by renowned director Christopher McQuarrie. McQuarrie, known for the “Mission: Impossible” films, plans to act as a director, producer and screenwriter at the same time.
Although Michael B. Jordan has been nominated for one of the main roles, his participation has not yet been officially confirmed. Competition among studios interested in the project continues.
According to reports, the creative team definitely wants the film to be released in theaters. For this reason, Netflix is staying out of the project. Paramount Pictures may not take on the “Battlefield” project, as it is already working on a film based on Call of Duty.
According to recent reports, Apple and Sony have also joined the negotiations. Apple is said to be particularly interested in this project. The company’s new management’s desire to make the Apple TV+ platform more competitive may play a decisive role in the fate of the “Battlefield” film.
