A lot of rumors regarding the forthcoming movie adaptation of the historical fiction video game "Assassin's Creed" have been swirling around. Some of the games' fans might be dying to know some of the details of its development; fortunately, producer Frank Marshall has recently confirmed that the production for the long-awaited movie is set to begin in September.
The movie adaptation of the popular video game "Assassin's Creed" has already released its first official movie poster. Apart from the 'Animus' and release date, no other information was featured in the recently revealed visual which makes it is questionable to some, most especially to the games' fans and players. However, they do not need to worry of the film's development anymore as it is expected to start filming this September.
In an interview with Slash Film for his latest flick 'Jurassic Park', Frank Marshall confirmed that "Assassin's Creed" is definitely going to happen. "Yeah, that's happening in September," he stated.
Though the plot details are still under the wraps, the film is slated to star "Macbeth" stars Michael Fassbender and Academy Award-winner Marion Cotillard. Alicia Vikander ("Ex Machina", "A Royal Affair" is also rumored to star but there is no word yet which confirms her inclusion in the film.
Comic Book says "Assassin's Creed" will be distributed by 20th Century Fox and Ubisoft Mtion Pictures with Ratpac and Alpha Pictures will co-finance. Apart from Marshall, Fassbender will also produce the movie alongside Arnon Milchan, Jean-Julien Baronnet, Conor McCaughan, and Pat Crowley. Justin Kurzel will be reuniting with Fassbender and Cotillard in this project as he is set to direct the film based on Bill Collage, Adam Cooper and Michael Lesslie's screenplay.
Originaly, the film adaptation was supposed to premiere this year. However, delays pushed back the movie's production in September, with a December 21, 2016 premiere.
