It won't be the first time if we found out that more Ubisoft's IPs are gonna hit the big screen. For instance, Far Cry and Prince of Persia have already gone Hollywood.

Bambi, Evanescence, and video games. Bet you can't find the connection. At the DICE Summit, Ubisoft Montreal CEO Yannis Mallat presented a video featuring Bambi clips set to an Evanescence track in order to demonstrate how games aren't all about the technology.
