Ubisoft announced a deal with New Regency for an Assassin's Creed film back in 2012, which included Michael Fassbender signing on as the lead actor. Since then the status of the movie has been in question, due in part to a delay in the projected release.
Today during Ubisoft's third-quarter fiscal earnings call, the publisher offered an update, announcing that the film has officially been greenlit and is now in production. Ubisoft says the film is on track to meet its new 2016 release date, which was announced last month.
Our Track
I still have plenty of reservations about whether or not Hollywood can make an Assassin's Creed movie that doesn't suck, but I respect Michael Fassbender's work, and it's good to hear that Ubisoft and New Regency are confident enough in the script to finally greenlight the project. Then again, Ubisoft also signed off on the Prince of Persia film, and we saw how that turned out...
Yes let's hope it's better then Prince of Persia, because compared to that; Tomb Raider was a bigger success (although let's face it that was mostly thanks to Angelina Jolie).
