You like Sin City's visual effects? So did Ubisoft

Owned. Literally. The stylized look of the Sin City movie was (and still is) quite iconic. With the second movie yet to be made, Frank Miller tied up shooting The Spirit, and now the purchasing of the studio that does the effects, just how much influence does that style hold for the future?

After its acquisition by Ubisoft, Hybride Technologies will supposedly continue to work with its movie partners, but will also work on bringing some of Ubisoft's IP's to the big screen. While this does seem quite out of character for a video game publisher, and it seems even weirder considering how Tom Clancy happy Ubisoft is, but it does open some interesting doors for that Prince of Persia movie.

Yep, no chance of this "tech" making it into the Prince of Persia movie. Check out the stats on the movie here ---> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473075/combined

I could dig a Assassin's Creed movie as long as it co-stars Kristen Bell. Otherwise, pass.
