  • This sounds like it could be the first truly good video game adaption! Ubisoft is making the right move by retaining creative control.
  • yes fassbender rules! I could see him as altair. or maybe a new assassin but definitely not as desmond
  • Mod
    Excelente. Can't wait to see how this turns out. I can't see Fassbender as Altair so I'm assuming he's going to be Desmond.
  • I think he could fit the part well. Definitely keeping an eye out on this.

  • I love you Fassbender

  • I hope they do an original story in the same universe, possibly the story of Subject 16.

  • Cool, I;m excited for this movie. I think Fassbender could make a good Altair or Desmond; he's definitely got the combat experience (300, Haywire, Legion) to be Altair but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

  • I'll believe a movie is going to happen when I actually see a trailer. How many films have been rumored to happen by now? Bioshock, God of War, Halo, etc - all fell through the cracks with disputes and other issues.
  • This needs to do more justice than what Prince of Persia movie did for that franchise.
  • New Regency? Wasn't Mr.&Mrs. Smith their most successful film?
  • Hope it doesn't suck like the Prince of Persia movie. I use that example b.c theyre both Ubisoft and very similar games.
  • Assassin's Creed is going to be interesting to see get adapted. I wonder if they are going to give enough time for the Desmond and Annimus sections. Hopefully, they do a better job with Assassin's Creed than with Prince of Persia. *shudders*
  • Sweeeet!

  • Hopefully this is a good video game movie.

  • I hope this, and the Mass Effect movies come out good. Theyre the only video game adapted movies I could care about.
  • As a Fassbender/AC dual fanboy, this is extremely good news for me.  So he's playing Ezio or Desmond?  Surely not Altaïr... Good luck adapting the plot into a coherent 2 hour movie

  • Hopefully this will be good

  • Was pretty surprised when I heard Fassbender was involved, he's a quality actor and this film could turn out ok. It was important they kept creative control too, I reckon the film could bring in a wider audience too, interesting concept with the Animus etc. and if they can gather a great cast

  • I'd still love to see a Metroid movie loosely based on the trilogy going from Prime  to Corruption.
