Electronic Arts may have locked up Lord of the Rings director Peter
Jackson's last film project, but Ubisoft has the next one. The French
publisher today announced that it's acquired the rights to produce games
based on King Kong, Jackson's upcoming remake of the giant-gorilla classic.
Ubisoft plans to have the game out on "all platforms" when the movie hits
theaters December 14, 2005. Rayman creator Michel Ancel and the rest of the
team responsible for Beyond Good & Evil are producing the project, in
collaboration with Ubisoft's Montreal studio (Splinter Cell, Prince of
Persia) and Jackson's Wingnut Films production company, so it should be a
cut above an ordinary movie adaptation.
