Several tech blogs and news site have been buzzing for the last 24 hours since Variety broke the news that Sony Pictures was in the final negotations to develop a film franchise based on Ubisoft’s “Assassin’s Creed” videogame series.
While the deal hasn’t been officially confirmed by Sony or Ubisoft, that didn’t stop Sony Pictures from registering over a dozen “Assassin’s Creed” movie domain names such as assassinscreedthefilm.com.
All of the domain names were registered on October 20, a day before the Variety story was published.
Here’s a look at the full list of domain names:
assassins-creed-movie.com
assassins-creed.net
assassins-creedmovie.com
assassinscreed-film.com
assassinscreed-film.net
assassinscreed-movie.com
assassinscreed-movie.net
assassinscreed-thefilm.com
assassinscreed-thefilm.net
assassinscreed-themovie.com
assassinscreed-themovie.net
assassinscreedfilm.com
assassinscreedfilm.net
assassinscreedthefilm.com
assassinscreedthefilm.net
assassinscreedthemovie.net
Although the domains were registered before either company has even announced a partnership, Sony Pictures must have been pretty confident that the deal was certain.
That, or the deal was already done.

Hope they remain faithful to the game’s atmosfeer and feel, they absolutely rock! Please don’t let them mess things up like Hollywood has done in the past with some game-to-movie projects.
The should make four movies. One for each game while at the same time keeping it consistant with the games. Leaving nothing out, I want this to be good like Maurice says. I’m sure they can do it!
