Activision Blizzard have officially launched their new TV/Movie studios. That’s right, we will see Call Of Duty become a movie franchise very soon, while Skylanders will be making its animated debut on Television.
Skylanders Academy is currently in production with the help of Eric Rogers, one of the minds behind Futurama’s script. The animated series will also features the voices of Justin Long as Spryo, Ashley Tisdale as Stealth Elf, Jonathan Banks as Eruptor and Norm Macdonald as Glumshanks.
Details on what the first Call Of Duty film will be hasn’t come yet, but one can only imagine. If the chose to adapt one of the previous released games, they’ll have a hit on their hands. The campaigns of Black Ops 1 and 2, Modern Warfare 2, World At War would all be good movie adaptions if done correctly.
Time will only tell what Activision Blizzard shall do.
Also, the good folks over at Joystiq make some pretty outstanding points. With all the money Activision has been making over the years thanks to their incredible franchises and the recent acquiring of King’s Candy Crush, the company will surely have plenty to back the studios with to come up with great productions.
