Assassin's Creed film inevitable as Ubisoft plans to open new movie studio

Ubisoft is moving into the movie industry by creating its own studio that it hopes will turn some of its most prestigious franchises into big hits on the silver screen.
Variety reports that the new movie studio will be called Ubisoft Motion Pictures and will be headed by Jean-Julien Baronnet of EuropaCorp, the French film studio behind the Transporter movies. Though Ubisoft has yet to reveal firm plans for its studio, it seems likely that movie remakes of flagship franchises, Assassin’s Creed, Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon will be top of the agenda. This also ties in with a survey that Ubisoft sent out last month to a cross-section of gamers, asking their thoughts on an Assassin’s Creed and Ghost Recon movie.
Ubisoft is no stranger to the film industry. In 2010, Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time hit the box office and netted over $335 million across the globe. With the French studio solely in charge of production on any future titles, the potential is there to make some stunning recreations of its best-loved IPs. Assassin's Creed in particular could be awesome.

I really liked the Prince of Persia movie, I thought it captured the essence of the game and the story pretty well; and considering it was a game to movie then it has even more credit considering most video-games turned movie fail.
I think there is potential on their franchises for good movies; as long as they take things seriously and hire good actors, good directors, and good screen writers, and as long as they don't push a movie out quickly just to coincide with a game release... or vice-versa.

No. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
You want to make some 'stunning recreations' of our beloved IPs, you do it in videogame form. It's the gamers that make these IPs popular in the first place. Stop punishing us by turning it into a film.
