Transformers director Michael Bay is developing a feature film version of Tom Clancy's Ghost
Recon with an eye towards directing the screen adaptation of Ubisoft's third-person tactical
shooter.
Jean Julien Baronnet, CEO of Ubisoft Motion Pictures, said the video game company wanted
Bay for the Ghost Recon movie "because he is a master at action movies."
Variety says "Ubisoft is now also meeting with screenwriters to tackle Ghost Recon,
with Bay overseeing its development through his Platinum Dunes production banner. Should
he spark to the script, he could direct the film. The goal is to hire screenwriters later
this month and start attatching talent in July. Ubisoft has the rights to use Tom Clancy's
name in the film title."
Ghost Recon would also mark Bay's first film for Warner Bros., who will distribute the
movie. Ghost Recon is an advanced, futuristic squad
of U.S. Army soldiers. Unlike other Rainbow Six games, the setting is much more focused
on the military instead of anti-terrorist maneuvers.
