ASSASSIN'S CREED Movie Has a Release Date!
20th Century Fox and New Regency Pictures have announced that they will release the feature film adaptation of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed on May 22nd, 2015! Michael Fassbender is set to star in the film which is currently being written by Michael Lesslie.
There's no director attached to the film yet, but Ubisoft will maintain control of key elements of the movie's creative direction. They are guiding the film and story in the direction they want it to go. It's safe to say they will stay close to the story of the video game, which centers on a bartender who is captured by a secret corporation with ties to the Knights Templar, and learns his ancestors were trained assassins. He's sent back in time to retrieve historical artifacts.
This is such a great game, and I really hope they will be able to pull off the epic film adaptation that it deserves.
2015 is going to be an epic year for movies as we've also got Star Wars: Episode VII, The Avengers 2, The Hobbit: There and Back Again, and Ant-Man to look forward to.
