Certainly looks like Activision is serious about Call of Duty Elite.

News has come out that the company is working with Hollywood talent such as director Ridley Scott (Alien, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down), Tony Scott, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Ben Silverman to create “exclusive episodic entertainment built just for the Call of Duty community.”

This new content will be part of the upcoming community aspect of Call of Duty Elite.

“Just like any other passion that people spend a lot of their free time doing, Call of Duty players share a common language and a common experience,” Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said. “We think we can create some entertainment content that they will love and talk about and share.”
