According to Deadline, the brilliant Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception) will join Michael Fassbender in the big-screen adaptation of video game series, Assassin's Creed. Her role is apparently under wraps, but if recent rumors are to be believed, she could well be playing a female assassin named Lara who gives Fassbender's character a helping blade. Speaking of which, the X-Men: Days Of Future Past actor is rumored to be playing two roles: a death row inmate named Michael Lynch in present day, and an assassin named Aguilar de Agarorobo in the time of the Spanish Inquisition. None of that has been confirmed however. Justin Kurzel (Macbeth) will direct, with a script from Adam Cooper and Bill Collage. Assassin's Creed is scheduled to be released in 3D on December 21, 2016.

As great of an Actress as she is, I can't help but be annoyed every time I see her on screen. Both of her last notable Characters actually made me angry, lmao.

Seriously though, that's awesome casting. Cotillard's French so I would assume her character originates from there rather than Spain...but in any case, I can't wait to see her kick ass as a freaking assassin.

Marion Cotillard as an Assassin would be great. I guess this is kind of my way to see more of her as Talia

"Justin Kurzel (Macbeth) will direct..."

Interesting, so we will get a taste of what this Director can do with Macbeth? Sweet.

Speaking of which, does look a bit intriguing:

@FordEl - Yeah, hahaha. I'm just messing around though. Cotillard is a pretty fantastic actress and it's interesting that this film is finally getting off the ground. Unfortunately, the writers also penned "Tower Heist" and Exodus: Gods and Kings"

@FordEl - Likewise. I'm not too interested in Agent 47, but Duncan Jones' Warcraft could be just what we've been waiting for...We shall see.

Sucks that I'm not a Assassin's Creed fan, since I feel this might be the first good video game movie. (Mortal Kombat doesn't count)

Assassin's creed stories are more and more disappointing, I don't expect anything from this movie. If the movie is good, I'll be very surprise to say the least.
