Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard will reunite again in the upcoming film to star in the movie adaptation of the hit stealth action-adventure game from Ubisoft. Plot for the film make take place during the Renaissance in Italy, the American Revolution, Pirates in Caribbean or the Spanish Inquisition.
Ubisoft, the game developer for the Assassin's Creed franchise, has confirmed that the movie adaptation of "Assassin's Creed" is set to hit the silver screen on December 21, 2016. According to its CEO, Yves Guillemot, "We have the pleasure to announce today that the green light has been given by New Regency, and the production has already started," adding that "This is a very important milestone for the project and for our team on Assassin's Creed."
Michael Fassbender will be producing the film and he will join Marion Cotillard as the star of the "Assassin's Creed" movie adaptation. Fassbender will be the lead star and he will reunite with Cottilar who was also his co-star in the Macbeth 2015 movie. Cotillard's role is still under wraps and the company has been very secretive with its pre-production but she is a very versatile actress and can handle any role that will be assigned for her. It was also reported that the filming will begin early this fall and Regency and Ubisoft will team up in the production of the movie adaptation of "Assassin's Creed".
Since the film is going to be adapted from the Assassin's Creed stealth action-adventure game series, there are a lot of possible plot and storyline that can be used in the upcoming film rendition. It may either be during the Italian Renaissance or the American Revolution. The Pirate infested Caribbean setting will also be good choice for this movie.
An interesting report points out that there will be a present day setting that will be used in the upcoming film. Since the protagonist in the game series use "Animus" to "experience the memories of his ancestors first hand", Fassbender will use a similar device in the film. This will open up a scenario where he gets to play as an assassin in each era of the film history which will culminate in the present time.
Report states that Fassbender will be the assassin, Aguilar de Agarorobo and Tomas de Torquemada will be the villain.
"Asssassin's Creed" movie adaptation is scheduled for production in the early fall of this year. The upcoming film is slated for release on December 21, 2016.
