Michael Bay to Develop Ubisoft’s ‘Ghost Recon’ Film at Warner Bros. (EXCLUSIVE) Michael Bay is ready to go on a covert mission with Ubisoft, signing on to develop “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon” into a potential film franchise at Warner Bros., with an eye to direct. Project marks the first time Bay has worked with Warner Bros., after previously producing and helming films primarily with Disney, Sony, DreamWorks and Paramount. The “Ghost Recon” games revolve around a fictional unit of the U.S. Army Special Forces that essentially operates as the President’s private army, using the latest technology to infiltrate and take down threats around the world without leaving any traces behind that they exist. “These guys don’t belong to any specific organization,” Jean-Julien Baronnet, CEO of Ubisoft Motion Pictures. “They’re in the field where the U.S. troops are not supposed to be. Ubisoft wanted to work with Bay “because he is a master at action movies,” Baronnet said.

Ubisoft is to release an all new rhythm action game dubbed Rocksmith, featuring a fully-functioning electric guitar and songs by big names such as David Bowie, Nirvana and The Rolling Stones.
The announcement – as broken by The Hollywood Reporter – comes just over a month after Activision pulled the plug on the Guitar Hero series, and in a climate where the music genre is generally believed to be struggling. Rocksmith, however, looks to position itself differently to the competition. "Guitar Hero is a party game," said Ubisoft's senior VP of marketing Tony Key, "Rocksmith is a music experience. " Ubisoft is believed to be looking to partner with Gibson and other guitar manufacturers to create an experience that's more geared towards learning how to play the instrument. "The dream of playing guitar compared to how many follow through -- there's a big gap," Key said in Rocksmith's defence.
