Ubisoft's got its finger in a number of cinematic pies, including the
founding of its own CGI studio and the acquisition of special effects company
Hybride -- now, the publisher
can add its very own film studio to its ... pie safe, we guess.
Variety reports the company
opened up a division named Ubisoft Motion Pictures in Paris, which will be
headed by former EuropaCorp CEO Jean-Julien Baronnet, and will focus on adapting
Ubisoft's franchises into films and TV shows.
You guys realize what this means, right? We mean, it's pretty obvious. Given
the success of last year's
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time movie,
they're going to follow it up with a television miniseries based on
Smurfs Dance Party.
Like, duh.
