Ubisoft Motion Pictures, the film and television division of Ubisoft, has announced that they are collaborating with Warner Bros. Pictures and Michael Bay on development of a feature film based on Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon.

“Having one of Hollywood’s boldest feature film directors attached to bringing Ghost Recon to the big screen is a dream come true for us,” said Jean-Julien Baronnet, chief executive officer, Ubisoft Motion Pictures.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon is one of Ubisoft’s best-selling video game franchises, with more than 24 million copies sold. Recent additions to the franchise include shooter Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Future Soldier, and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Online, a free-to-play online game.

Michael Bay is the fourth-highest grossing director of all time with combined receipts as a producer/director totaling more than $5.5 billion. Bay is presently on location filming Transformers 4 with a brand new cast, starring Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer and set for release in summer 2014.
