Sony is set to acquire the film rights to Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed" series of historical thriller video games with the intent of creating a movie franchise.
The games, which currently number three with a fourth coming out this November, are set in the near future and feature bartender Desmond Miles, a descendent in a line of Assassins, who is kidnapped and forced to relive memories of his ancestors with the goal of learning the location of powerful artifacts. The games' overall storyline is reportedly inspired by the 1938 novel Alamut by Vladimir Bartol.
Ubisoft is also the game publisher of other potential film adaptations, including Tom Clancy's "Splinter Cell" and "Ghost Recon" series.
