Variety is reporting that game maker Ubisoft is planning film adaptations of three of its most popular franchises: "Assassins Creed," "Splinter Cell" and "Ghost Recon."
Ubisoft Motion Pictures was launched in January to handle film and TV productions.
"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," Variety quoted Jean de Rivieres, senior VP of international marketing and distribution.
He went on to say the company is planning on meeting with studios in June on the projects.
"Assassin's Creed" follows the ages long conflict between the Templars and Assassins, mixing history and science-fiction throughout the three-game (and soon to be four-game) series.
"Splinter Cell" and "Ghost Recon" are most military action games based on the works of author Tom Clancy.
