Oh yeeeeah, there’s an Assassin’s Creed movie
Assassin’s Creedis getting a movie. I almost forgot about it, because I was hoping it wouldn’t actually happen. But it is, and now the film it has a director attached to it: Justin Kurzel (MacBeth). In addition, David-8 hottie and Magneto the Magnificent, also known as Michael Fassbender, is attached to the film playing the lead and acting as producer. That’s good news, even if Michael Fassbender isn’t a gamer. As long as it’s a decent adaptation, it doesn’t matter who’s involved, does it?
Fassbender went in-depth withScreen Rantregarding his involvement with the project: “We’re just developing the script at the moment. I’d heard of it but had never played the game. I don’t have a video game player […] that’s not what they’re called. I met up with the guys from Ubisoft and they told me the story behind it, and I thought it was very interesting — the idea of reliving memories.”
Here’s to hoping when new details emerge about the upcomingAssassin’s Creedmovie, they end up being as impressive as Ubisoft’s ability to snag Fassbender and a director who might be able to help make something memorable over a cash grab.
