ASSASSIN’S CREED... Last week, it was announced that Sony Pictures is planning to adapt the highly-popular Ubisoft video game to the big screen. Assassin’s Creed wouldn’t be the first Ubisoft title to get a cinematic treatment, however; the video game company’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was released in theaters via Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer last year. According to Variety, Ubisoft also wants big-screen versions of its other bestselling titles, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon at the cineplex.
There were a few live-action webisodes produced as prequels to Assassin’s Creed II back in 2009. If Hollywood’s version of the game is anywhere as faithful as these clips, which are titled Assassin’s Creed: Lineage, then the brand should be in good shape...though presumably there’ll be less blue screen elements in Sony’s depiction (since the movie should most likely get a high budget and probably be a summer tentpole picture).
