The trend for video game franchise movies continues apace, with reports that Ubisoft’s Motion Pictures unit is shopping around a Ghost Recon movie.
The LA Times reports that the head of Ubisoft’s Motion Pictures division, Jean-Julien Baronnet, spends a week a month in Hollywood — which means he’s racking up the frequent flyer miles — working on the fine details of Ubisoft’s upcoming pictures, including the Michael Fassbender led Assassin’s Creed and Tom Hardy led Splinter Cell, as well, as, apparently, trying to get a Ghost Recon movie up and running.
Creed and Cell I can see as (maybe) being decent movies, given there’s a strong focus on character, but the Ghost Recon games aren’t exactly strong character studies — although the trailer/mini-movie for Future Soldier was quite cool.
