Chad Michael Collins on If He Thinks Call of Duty Will Be Adapted to TV or Films & Work with Director Jean de Meuron on Short, ‘Edge of Space’
Bleeding Cool : Has there been any chatter about adapting Call of Duty for the prominent covert or perhaps as a TV serial ?
I secernate you what , ' Call of Duty ' is a monolithic car , and despite play a lead-in in ' Modern Warfare 2019 , ' then appearing again in ' Modern Warfare 3 ' and being a part of the whole state of war zone creation , I am but a small sprocket [ laughs ] . I ’m a cock-a-hoop fan now , and I roll in the hay playing Alex , Echo 31 , and being a gamer my whole biography ; it ’s been an right-down dream role to be a part of that storied dealership and to be " canyon , " as the kids say .
I do n’t bonk . I hear the mutter sometimes and lover are out there like , " Why do n’t you just cast the actors who look like the fictitious character in the actual ' Call of obligation ' moving picture ? " I ’m like , " If it ’s going to be a real ' Call of Duty ' motion-picture show , it ’s last to be a $ 250 million Michael Bay - kind of extravaganza . I presuppose with that price tag , you need to have your Chris Evans , Pratt , and Hemsworth . You need to have all the " Chris ’s , " so I ’m not sure they would have used a Chad in there , but I would sleep with it if they did because there ’s nothing I ’d love better than to be part of a ' Call of responsibility ' pic or TV serial .
How did you get involved with the Edge of Space unforesightful , and what was it like filming that ?
' border of Space ' was a visionary playscript and short pic that was put together by a music director named Jean de Meuron , and he had me in judgment for the lead theatrical role , which is an Air Force run pilot [ Glen Ford ] , literally trying to push to the boundary of space , go out into the stratosphere in 1961 in the famous X-15 Air Force jet . It ’s a charming and inspirational handwriting , clean up in festivals . We ’re on the Oscars short list right now , wait to see if it gets over the bump and becomes one of the final five or eight that are nominated for an Academy Award this yr . It ’s an incredible and inspirational story .
NASA , Air Force , phratry , and pilot who lose their lives pushing this technology forward . It was so cool to be a part of it . They put their heart and someone , and it turned out so well . I was blessed to be a part of it , and we ’ve all pleasantly surprised to see how successful and pop it ’s been , and hopefully , we can go all the room .
Is there any genre of work you palpate like you have n’t had the opportunity to twist your acting chops in ? Or there ’s something , perchance an IP , that you go for to get into ?
I ’m a comic book and gaming nerd , if you ca n’t already tell . I ’m also cock-a-hoop into retro gaming , so anything along the note of . I ’ve been into Marvel Comics more than anything else , but anything relate to comics is so wicked , cool , honorable fun , and talk to my childhood . If they ever bestow back a G.I. Joe movie or reanimate serial publication , I eff a bite of that apple as well , and the other one is I ’ve never really got a probability to do too much of are Westerns .
I ’m such a devotee of Westerns , and at some point , in my life history to be able to do a fun westerly movie . I smatter with a trivial moment here and there , but not in the way of the movies I raise up with , whether it ’s the Sergio Leone , Clint Eastwood movies , or ' Tombstone ' [ 1993 ] itself and moving-picture show like that . Who knows ? Hopefully , I ’ll stick around long enough that I can at long last get a wax mustache and do a small twisting .
