Production Set To Begin On ASSASSIN'S CREED Within The Next Year?

Not dissing this in any way... I really think this is going to be awesome. But HOW IN THE HELL is this getting made before the 1 game that in my opinion deserves a movie more than any other game??

i hope this movie works out and doesn't suck. Fassbender is a great actor so there's some hope that this will be a really good video game based movie.

Cool! Michael Fassbender will probably have to start filming in the Fall 2013 & release it in 2014.

please for the love of god do not [frick] this up. so much potential here.

but then again i cant picture MF playing anyone but Altier.

M3T4LL0, because this kind of ties into the "ancient alien" and or Mayan 2012 theories which are quite the popular topics right now.

I hope its Altair but it will probably be Ezio.

Can't wait to hear news about an Uncharted movie!!!

@ACira - Fassbender must be every assassin. They use the same model for both Desmond and his ancestors.

Yeah... well, just connor from AC3, he is a bit different because he's half-native american

They can NOT have Fassbender play all of the assassins. That would be so [frick]in awkward and ruin the movies. They are Centuries apart and made up of different ethnicities. They do no have to look similar. The only reason the game did it was because it was a fcuking video game. Its easier for them to use the same platform then to come up with a new look for each game.

But if I could choose, I would rather see the original Desmond in a live action adaption - Francisco Randaz :D

I suspect they will have MF play all protagonist, and the explanation will be that the animus projects his image on them. Similar to the movie source code; the main character could only see the actual person he was living through in the mirror.

Jizz

The fact that Ubisoft is working so closely with adapting the movie gives me high hopes for this.

@Sanderman - That was what I was going to say. THey can change his features so he can look slightly different in each timeline. This is 2012, folks can do these things.

AND I believe it's important for him to be in each role because of the theory I have about AC - if it's true, of course.

@Fogs they rectified it in Revelations; Altair and Desmond were redesigned to look slightly different, while Ezio looked the same. Desmond was only tweaked enough to look different, but Altair was completely redesigned to actually look Middle-Eastern. I think it was explained away as the old Animus making the ancestors look like the present day Animus user, while the newer Animus showed them how they'd actually look. It was pretty much the animators not thinking ahead when they made the first game. When the movie is made they should start with the Animus working properly and making them look individual, otherwise it gets confusing and looks silly to the rest of the audience.

Plus, there's no way Fassbender looks Arabic, Italian, or Native-American. He can only really play Desmond.

What's your theory anyway? Don't want to sound rude but it'll probably be wrong if it's along the lines that the assassins are reincarnated versions of each other. It's fairly well established in the series that Altair, Ezio, and Connor are ancestors of Desmond, and that the Animus simply allows Desmond to relive their memories by tracing his ancestry through his DNA. Plus Desmond's story ends in ACIII, meaning they wouldn't explain any of that in a future game.
Plus, Subject 16 was made to relive Ezio's memories in Abstergo before they captured Desmond (it's how they learned of Altair), proving that any descendants of a person can relive the memories using an Animus, so they can't all be reincarnated versions of them.
