The Ubisoft Head of Content for Assassin's Creed revealed on Friday that the video game film has wrapped filming. Cameras began rolling last August and wrapped in January of this year,making this a typical 6-month shoot. Will the film be the first to break the video game curse? Will Duncan Jones' Warcraft beat them to the punch in June? There are lots of video game movies currently in development, perhaps they'll soon rival comic book movies?



Through a revolutionary technology that unlocks his genetic memories, Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) experiences the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. Callum discovers he is descended from a mysterious secret society, the Assassins, and amasses incredible knowledge and skills to take on the oppressive and powerful Templar organization in the present day. Assassin's Creed stars Academy Award nominee Michael Fassbender (X-Men: Days of Future Past, 12 Years a Slave) and Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises, La Vie en Rose).

Assassin's Creed opens in theaters worldwide on December 21st, 2016.

I would love a REAL Super Mario Bros. movie with Kevin James as Mario and Pablo Schreiber as Luigi.

I think this will be a great video game movie adaption. Ubisoft was very involved with the production.

@Jollem I agree with you about Mortal Kombat and Silent Hill. But Hitman, Resident Evil, and Super Mario Bros. were nothing like the games... Terrible adaptions.

Im only excited for this because of Mikey Fassbender.
@Jollem are you referring to the 2007 Hitman film?

Gears of War would look [frick]ing glorious as a movie. Bioshock and Red Dead Redemption would though too. Hopefully the Uncharted movie turns out to be good.

Metroid movie would be awesome too!

@Jollem yea, same here, Rupert was excellent as 47, but I prefer the 2007 movie over the newer one . Though they are still both pretty mediocre.

@Jollem K den, but let's both be real here, Hitman was pretty terrible.

@Jollem I forgot about the Hitman movie in 2007. That was closer to the games than the new Hitman movie.

The Resident Evil movie is a very loose adaption of the games. Yes, it had zombies, a licker, and a vaguely similar plot, but the first movie didn't even feature characters from the game. They weren't brought in until the sequels. If you do a RE game marathon and then watch the movies, you'll see how different they are.

Doing a live-action Super Mario Bros. was a mistake. Sorry, but this isn't Bowser:



The only way a Super Mario Bros. movie would work is if it was CG.

@DrDoom Take a crack at this underrated gem:



Syphon Filter holds a special place in my heart. And the plot would translate to film rather well.
