SAN FRANCISCO – July 19, 2010 – Ubisoft will reveal exclusive details on its new short film Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Alpha at a Comic-Con panel on Saturday, July 24, 2010 at 11 am.
In partnership with Little Minx, a company of Ridley Scott and Associates, Ubisoft is developing a live action short film based on the Ghost Recon brand that will serve as a complementary experience to the upcoming video game release of Tom Clancy™’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier™. The panel will feature key members of the film’s production team discussing new information about the short film, in addition to providing new content on the highly anticipated video game.
