Jesse Stern is the writer of Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2...but did you know that he's been writing for NCIS since 1994? The well-versed writer sits down with Gamepro to discuss the options for a Call of Duty movie, as well as an NCIS game.

GP: Would Modern Warfare work as a movie?

Stern: It would work very well as a film. Hopefully, that's a conversation I'll have with somebody somewhere down the line. Jason West, Steve Macuda and the rest of the guys from Infinity Ward have an interest in doing it and Activision wants to do it. I'd be very curious to give that a try. You've got your source material to draw on, which is the biggest advantage in getting one of these movies off the ground.

GP: We've seen a lot of TV shows turned into games from Criminal Minds to CSI. Would NCIS or its new spin-off work as a game?

Stern:This year has been very interesting for us at NCIS, where we're finally reaching number one. We've been climbing and climbing for the last few seasons and now that we're the top-rated show on TV, a lot of these opportunities are coming along. People are having those conversations with us more realistically about doing a video game. It'd be great to have an NCIS game. The main thing that you have to capture is the tone of the show. NCIS is a character-based show. There's a lot of humor. There's a lot of banter and the procedure elements of it are secondary. So I think the biggest challenge would be to make an adaptation that brings that same kind of flavor to it. But hey, I'm open to have that conversation soon.
