Last year, Ubisoft released a series of short live action films that tied into Assassin's Creed 2. Now the publisher wants to do the same thing with their upcoming military shooter Ghost Recon: Future Solider and they have recruited the people behind a movie that just won an Academy Award.

The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog reports that the movie will be directed by Francois Alaux and Herve de Crecy. Their previous movie was Logorama, which won the Oscar last Sunday for Best Animated Short Film. Ubisoft will spend between $8 million and $10 million to make the 20 minute Ghost Recon short film which will act as a prequel to Future Soldier. The short will be written by Tim Sexton who previously worked on the movie Children of Men.
