Michael Bay Developing ‘Ghost Recon’ For Warner Bros. And Ubisoft
By Russ Fischer/June 11, 2013 12:31 pm EST
Variety reports that Ubi and Platinum Dunes will be pulling in a screenwriter over the next couple weeks, and that Bay’s decision to direct will be based on the script. This follows on a report from earlier this year that Ubisoft was starting development efforts.
Jean Julien Baronnet, CEO of Ubisoft Motion Pictures, wanted to work with Bay because he sees the director as “a master at action movies.” The exec also described Ghost Recon, for the uninitiated:
These guys don’t belong to any specific organization. They’re in the field where the U.S. troops are not supposed to be. It’s a small team with very strong personalities and very specific skill sets. They’re using weapons nobody knows about but it’s very grounded. It’s not sci-fi.
