We want to keep ownership, retain control over the film content, and we're open to work with studios on the development of our projects, and eventually collaborate on the pre-casting, pre-budget and script." - Ubisoft's Jean-Julien Baronnet

"We will have a script ready by the end of the year." - Jean de Rivieres, senior VP of international marketing and distribution
