Ghost Recon/Ass Creed films coming?

By Fred Dutton Published 16 March, 2011

Ubisoft wants to hear your thoughts.

Ubisoft is considering film versions of its Ghost Recon and Assassin's Creed franchises, so suggests a new customer survey from the French publisher.

The questionnaire, which was flagged up by Evil Avatar, asks those surveyed what factors would convince them to see movies based on the aforementioned series.

Possible answers include scenarios that bridge the gap between games, look at existing characters' backstories or introduce new personalities to the games' fiction.

This wouldn't be the first time Ubisoft had let Hollywood producers have their way with its IPs. Last year Jake Gyllenhaal starred in Walt Disney Picture's take on the Prince of Persia universe.

    'Ass Creed' ?

    If that's not the name of a Pornographic film then it's a waste of time

  • telboy007 #2 1 year ago

    Make them violent.

  • ulikmegee #3 1 year ago

    I have a strange feeling Ghost Recon (the game) is gonna be a turd. After waiting so long for Conviction I was left very disappointed.
    In the game world no news is bad news the majority of the time I'm afraid(release date etc).

    Oh and I could bet my house both of these films will be average at best.

    True that

  • Lotos8ter #6 1 year ago

    @ulikmegee - my thoughts exactly.
    I'd prefer Ubisoft to concentrate on making the game than seeking an opinion on making a film of them.
    Ghost Recon could have lead the way as a premier shooter on all formats, instead they're playing catch-up with Acti/EA when what they had was a better product to begin with.

    Ass Creed: Interracial Gapers Vol. 3 is an excellent film, highly recommended.

  • Bleed #8 1 year ago

    They should stick to games.. Movies made from games are always bad. How can they not know this.. I think it would spoil peoples views of the games in question too.They should concentrate more on making games/expansions/updates.

  • MadCaddy13 #9 1 year ago

    No thanks

  • Cloud-Strife #10 1 year ago

    Prince of Persia was pretty good imo. Definitely the best game based movie out there.

  • SHPanda #11 1 year ago

    How about just the Ghost Recon Future Soldier Beta for us SC: Conviction owners that's almost a year late?

    One step at a time Ubisoft, you're currently in a state of promising the moon and delivering a golf ball at the moment guys.

    its a shame they dont ask if ghost recon should be set in the future with invisability cloaks
    not only should they stick to games but go back to the recons of old!

  • curtlikesmeat #13 1 year ago

    Assassin's Creed isn't a terrible idea if Ubisoft retained heavy rights to influence the outcome. If they just palmed it off to some Hollywood chumps for a quick sale it'd no doubt be terrible.

  • ronuds #14 1 year ago

    Here are my thoughts:

    No.

  • Zaiz #15 1 year ago

    Ghost Recon would be a shitty idea for a movie. Just let 'real' war movies cover it, please.

    I guess Assassin's Creed could get a movie, people still lap up Dan Brown's attempts at writing.

  • asphaltcowboy #16 1 year ago

    I'd love to see an Assassins Creed movie, but I imagine they'd screw it up! :(

  • Shikasama #17 1 year ago

    Yes please!

    I'd love to see a kick ass family dynamic in there.

  • Der_tolle_Emil #18 1 year ago

    They should stick to games.. Movies made from games are always bad.

    They usually are. Although I'd really like to see what Blizzard can come up with should they try to make one. Their cutscenes are brilliant, a full length rendered movie would be interesting.

  • Phishfood #19 1 year ago

    Ass Creed? I'd rather watch Ass Bro

  • Marsun #20 1 year ago

    How about Ubisoft forgets about doing a lame tie-in game/movie that never work 99% of the time anyways and concentrate on getting the long delayed Ghost Recon: Future Soldier game out the door to PC,Xbox 360 and PS3 players. Ubisoft could also think about putting the wheels in motion to continue the Rainbow Six: Vegas series except set it somewhere other than Vegas how about instead setting it in one of the following locations London,Hong kong,Tokyo etc.

    if you make an assassins creed movie just like the short films that were released almost all green screen with foreign no name actors like you did for those short films you made already based on ezio's father. i will watch that. not based on his father but i mean just make them exactly like those.. they were perfect.

    A love interest, please! :p

  • Razorus #23 1 year ago

    A prequel to Assassin's Creed, following Altair's life and rise through the Assassin Order.

  • Wahoffelmadenga #24 1 year ago

    I've always thought that if comics can be turned into good films then, with the right writers and director, then there's no reason why games can't make good films.
    I think a Ghost Recon film could work but only if Tom Clancy was involved (it his idea after all).
    If done right an Assassin's Creed film could be amazing but I think it would be difficult to pull off.

  • Spekingur #25 1 year ago

    A Ghost Recon movie would have to have a completely diffirent premise than the games. Using the game stories as a script for a movie just doesn't make sense.
    Assassin's Creed would make more sense and could be more easily adapted in to a movie. They would have to get the free running right though and make everything look super-awesomely-cool. I am reminded of Yamakasi and Banlieue 13 (or District B13).
