Ubisoft Announce 3D Film Plans

Ubisoft have now set up their own movie firm, the game developer revealed this week. The plan, apparently, is to convert their much-loved franchises like Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon and Assassin's Creed into big screen 3D adaptations, with a script for the latter hoped to be completed by the end of this year so that casting can start in early 2012 and the promotional bandwagon can kick itself into overdrive as fast as possible. There are other unrevealed projects being worked on too, such as the Raving Rabbids animated series entering pre-production soon which doesn't even have a name yet, and of course Ubisoft still have major new games on their way this year and next with Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier respectively (plus a new Splinter Cell at E3 wouldn't come as a surprise), but this is at least a clear confirmation that we can expect more game-to-film adaptations like Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time in years to come- I can only hope they fare better...
