Videogame Company Ubisoft has announced that they are collaborating with Hollywood director James Cameron.

They would now be working on a title that would be based on Cameron’s upcoming 3D movie titled Avatar.

Cameron spoke about the deal with the videogame company: “Ubisoft didn’t want to just put something flashy on the screen; they wanted a soul behind the videogame. The world of the ‘Avatar’ game is, in some ways, considerably richer than what you are going to see in the film.”

Ubisoft’s Yannis Mallet added: “We are learning from the best. The film and videogame industries are on lines that are not quite parallel, so let’s anticipate that the talents are converging and build collaboration so the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.”

Cameron had this to say about the movie Avatar: “This film is way beyond anything I’ve done before. Which is why it has taken four years. To put that in perspective, ‘Titanic’ took two years to make.”

Both the movie and the game are expected to be launched later this year.
