If you were waiting for other CBMs like the Halo and Mass Effect film adaptations, you may have something else to whet your appetite. According to recent reports the French video game publisher, Ubisoft, has started their own film studios. The studio is called, 'Ubisoft Motion Pictures', and they already have several irons in the fire.
So far, they plan to expand on their critical franchises, like Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell.
Ubisoft is adamant about keeping things pure, so that they can accurately portray the games in question. Ubisoft's official statement was,
"Our strategy is not to diversify but to bolster the appeal of our franchises — that’s why we want to make sure our films will reflect the brands accurately and consolidate our fan base while expanding beyond the games’ primary target audience.”
Hopefully, this means that the games would be done the correct way. If Marvel can start their own studios and have THEIR movies be consistent hits, Ubisoft has a high chance of replicating that success. An 'Assassins Creed' movie could potentially be epic, and lead to a very profitable series of sequels. Let the fancasts begin!
