It's only a brief mention in a Los Angeles Times article on Ubisoft's game-to-film efforts, but it seems the popular Ghost Recon series of video games may be headed for a screen adaptation.
We've previously reported on Ubisoft's two other projects in development — Assassin's Creed starring Michael Fasbender and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell starring Tom Hardy — both of which, in addition to having stars attached, have scripts written. These films aren't expected to hit theaters until late 2014 at the earliest.
Ghost Recon is centered on a squad of U.S. Army Special Forces operators, whose missions are highly classified, so much so that the members are often considered "ghosts". First released in 2001, there are numerous iterations of the game available for various platforms.
Though three tie-in books have been written — more information about the first of these, below — it is not known if any would serve as the basis for a film.

It's comprised of the most feared operators on the face of the earth — the soldiers of Ghost Recon.
