Michael Fassbender to star in film adaptation of Assassin's Creed
Michael Fassbender is set to star and co-produce the film adaptation of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed through is production company, DMC Films.
Fassbender has become a high-profile actor, starring in films such as 300, Fish Tank, Inglorious Bastards, Jane Eyre, X-Men: First Class, A Dangerous Method, Haywire, Prometheus; and has been critically acclaimed for his roles in Hunger and Shame. The Irish-German actor will soon be seen in The Counselor and Twelve Years a Slave and is set to reprise his role as Erik Lenserr/Magneto in the untitled X-Men sequel. Fassbender, along with Conor McCaughan, produced the BAFTA Award winning short film, Pitch Black Heist.
Michael Fassbender's past experience with video games includes voicing the character of Logan in Fable III.
About who would play the franchise's protagonist, CEO of Paris-based Ubisoft Motion Pictures, Jean-Julien Baronnet, says:
According to the Daily Variety, Ubisoft and Sony were in talks of making a series of Assassin's Creed films, but it seems Ubisoft executives have decided to develop the project independently to keep creative control. Sony might still end up distributing the movies.
There is still no word on which assassin the film will follow or when the film is scheduled to release.
Personally, I'd see Michael Fassbender in anything, but it would be a "Shame" if the film didn't live up to expectations. (See what I did there?)

There's more hope for this movie I think; because Ubisoft are in control. They made the franchise, they know what to do with it.

This is a fantastic move. Let's hope there's less dick in it, that wouldn't be a "shame". Ya see what I did THERE?

Another game-based move. Assassin's Creed, of all. Yet if anything, Fassbender is a good addition. Hope the movie's gonna be great. Makes me think of that Bollywood Creed film..Valiyutan or something?

FYI, that Indian movie ain't Bollywood. I happen to know because I can read Hindi and understand it. The language they spoke in wasn't Hindi. I'm an Indian, so I would know that.
