Ubisoft, the game publisher, has plans to make their next film release, "Assassin's Creed", better than your average video game genre film. In fact they have secured a deal that will help them do just that.
With the deal, Ubisoft has gained full control over the film. This isn't something that happens, ever. Everything will be left up to them;actors, budget, the script and even the release date. This deal is definitely unprecedented, and if at any time they are unhappy or need to drop the project altogether, they can.
We'll see if this all mounts to a fantastic movie, or a huge flop.
