Assassin's Creed

Michael Fassbender is currently in production on Assassin’s Creed, the long-awaited adaptation of the hit video game series. But “Progress requires sacrifice,” or at least that’s what we’re led to believe in the first photo from the set of the film, which reunites Fassbender with his Macbeth director Justin Kurzel and co-star Marion Cotillard — and with that kind of talent in front of and behind the camera, we may be looking at the first genuinely good video game adaptation.

It feels like Michael Fassbender has been attached to an Assassin’s Creed movie for years, to the point where we began to wonder whether this movie would ever actually exist (it at one point was scheduled to open in theaters three months ago)...

Omar comin’…to the Assassin’s Creed movie. Earlier today we reported on Michael K. Williams’ casting in Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters, but the actor has also lined up another role in a big franchise film. Williams has joined the cast of the upcoming Assassin’s Creed movie from director Justin Kurzel.

Warner Bros. will have a pretty big presence at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas next week, and the studio has already begun teasing some of the properties they’re bringing to the convention with new promo images for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, The Angry Birds Movie and Assassin’s Creed. Want another look at that new Batmobile? Sure you do.

Alicia Vikander has been acting for several years now, but it was only with her recent roles in Ex Machina and Son of a Gun that she finally earned some major attention. Audiences are about to get even more Vikander, as the actress is being targeted for two major upcoming films: the big screen version of the hit video game Assassin’s Creed, as well as the fifth installment in the Bourne franchise.

Magneto himself, Michael Fassbender, has said that principal photography in filming the Assassin's Creedmovie begins this September.

Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard and director Justin Kurzel recently wrapped filming on an adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth, which The Weinstein Co. will release later this year. Now, all three have agreed to reunite...on an adaptation of a video game. Cotillard has signed on to co-star with Fassbender in Assassin's Creed, which Kurzel will direct.

Last night, we reported that 20th Century Fox was shaking up its schedule, maneuvering sequels to ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ and ‘Fantastic Four’ into new positions. However, one of the films given a new release date is a project that continues to perplex us: the adaptation of the popular video game ‘Assassin’s Creed,’ which was first announced ages ago as a franchise for Michael Fassbender. Will we ever see this movie or will it continue to keep shifting further and further backwards on Fox’s schedule until it vanishes altogether?

Although the 'Assassin's Creed' movie lined up star Michael Fassbender months ago, the film has been without a director ... until now. New Regency finally found its helmer, and it's someone already quite familiar with Fassbender's work: 'Macbeth'-ian Justin Kurzel.

Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series is already on a yearly cycle, but there's a new report hinting the publisher may double dip on the popular franchise in 2014.
