but the real news will be the writer, and the director. Fassbender alone wont be able to make this escape video game movie hell.

Unlike most video games, Assassins Creed has a fairly original and unique setting with plenty of scope for a franchise of films set in differing ages, also Fassbender is perfect casting.

Just don't get Uwe-freakin'-Boll to direct and it should be safe. That Fassbender sees enough in it to produce as well as act gives me comfort.

There's no doubting that Fassbender is a very talented actor but that doesn't mean that this is going to be a winner. As we know, any film that has been adapted from a video game has been a pretty shoddy affair, probably Prince of Persia is the better of the bunch but that's not saying much! Either a disaster or the one that will change game to movie adapts, only time will tell!

Eurgh an inevitable cinematic adaptation of assassins creed to bring in even more dollar. The games are epic and awesome enough why should this work. I really hope this doesn't tarnish the Assassins Creed series!

If Fassbender is to play Desmond Miles then it can only be set between the Crusade era or Renaissance era! The lead for Assassins Creed 3 is Conner. If done well it SHOULD be awesome! They should make it gritty and leave out the Hollywood Bull and Polish that make films BAD!!

Fassie will be ok as Desmond Miles, but he shouldn't play Altair or Ezio. These characters require a darker actor, preferably arab or Italian. Also, the role of Lucy Stillman MUST be played by Kristen Bell - she owns it for many years now.

Assasins creed the games have a very good narrative and plenty of scope to work as a great film but then again so does the hitman franchise so take your time remember the games and dont make a t*t of the film.......its easy

As casting decisions go this is as smart as casting Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher was dumb. But it still might not be a winner.

Another bullshit videogame adaptation - 11/7/2012 8:27:12 AM

So Fassbender want's to make money. Fain enogh, but he should've chosen something else than another videogame flop. Not to mention the damage this will do to his career and image. Remember how Angelina Jolie, Mark Wahlberg and Jake Gyllenhaal ruined theirs?

i don't think that's true Angelina especially has done a lot since Tomb Raider esp The Changeling with got really good reviews or mr & mrs smith - i think that was pretty succesfull

LOL. Does anyone actually play Assassin's Creed for the story or characters? The sci-fi framing is head-slammingly godawful and the main character is a dick.
