Safe House was complete garbage... No character development, No real plot development, Reynolds mumbled through most of it and it was extremely predictable. Also, I know a movie is trash when I fall asleep during it...

I just disagree. Went to see it in theaters and wanted my money back...

I really liked Safe House. It wasn't as good as I hoped, but I thought it was pretty good.

Nice ol' donkey-dick Fassbender is associated still, maybe this video game adaptation will actually be decent...

I hope they make this movie as an entry in the overall series, rather than some inconsequential adaptation of whatever game was out when this was penned. There's enough lore and an expansive enough universe that you can make a film series that is self contained, but informs stuff in the franchise, overall.

Fassbender would make a terrible Ezio, surely? Ezio is Italian! :O

I agree. I think Fassbender could do great in this role! I also wish they would do an Uncharted movie!

Safe House was a great movie. Well almost anything Denzel stars in is terrific.

I don't think we'll see a direct adaptation of any of the games. It will probably be it's own assassin and timeline, king of an expanded universe thing.

Michael Fassbender could play Desmond Miles, Altair and be great in these two roles, but Ezio Auditore da Firenze I want to be portrayed by an actor who is not very well known!

See I tend to disagree, never been a fan of Denzel Washington. But that is just my personal taste.

Well there's nothing wrong in having a different opinion. It's all good brother.

Fassbender is Desmond I'm pretty sure. Start with the best one Altair.

Video games just dont translate well to movies. I hope they prove me wrong with this.

I wish The Rumors of Ridley Scott directing a Halo Movie were true that would be kick ass like Prometheus Meets Black Hawk Down

In my opinion,second best video game series out there,so I'm hoping they respect the game and the fans and give us one hell of a movie!

My hope for this movie just went up a lot more. Safe House was a well directed movie.

Daniel Espinosa could certainly handle AC.

Never saw 'Safe House' but hopefully Assassins Creed the film will turn out good. Not a lot of video game films are good.
