VIDEO GAMES ADAPTATIONS
ASSASSINS CREED, SPLINTER CELL AND GHOST RECON

Meanwhile Michael Bay will produce GHOST RECON adaptation. That one has pretty much the same plot as SPLINTER CELL - special forces cleaning up the world from terrorists (or at least the government says so if you're naive enough to believe it).
