Now, this is exciting, Ubisoft is planning to make three of its hit video games into movies: visually breathtakingASSASSIN'S CREED an epic action-adventure, which centers on the

conflict between Templars and Assassins, action game SPLINTER CELL which follows an elite secret agent fighting world terrorism and struggling to protect his daughter, and GHOST RECON which is set  in the near future following a secret, elite team of soldiers which are trying to keep and protect world peace using cutting-edge military technology.

Oooh, two of my favourite British boys Matthew Goode (WATCHMEN, LEAP YEAR) and Alex Pettyfer will take the lead roles in OVERDRIVE. To be directed by Colombian filmmaker

Antonio Negret, this $30 million dynamic action movie will revolve around two young, handsome and adventurous brothers, known for being high-profile car thieves, who travel to the South of France looking for new challenges and come across a tough local crime boss. Matthew Goode will also join Julie Andrews, Gemma Arterton and Gabriel Byrne in CROOKED HOUSE, a Neil LaBute's  adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel about the murder of a multi-millionaire and all of his family members who have reasons to want him dead.
