Ubisoft was just getting started with its live-action Assassin's Creed promos. According to Variety, the developer is now working with a pair of Oscar winners to create a 30-minute Ghost Recon: Future Soldier film.
Completely separate from the live action trailer that debuted today, the Ghost Recon short film will serve as a prequel to the events that take place in Future Soldier, which is scheduled for a holiday release across all platforms.
The short film will be helmed by Francois Alaux and Herve de Crecy, the 2010 Oscar-winning directors of the animated short "Logorama." The script is being handled by one of the writers from "Children of Men," and Little Minx, a division of Ridley Scott's production company, is also on board.
"We don't look at it just as a videogame brand," Adrian Lacey, a producer on the film, told Variety. "For us, it's very much an entertainment brand. Videogames talk to a lot more people than they did a while back. It's a much bigger audience so we're trying to bring more people to it."
According to Variety, the Future Soldier short film will be released in multiple formats in the fall.
