Means nothing to me. Fassbender's been talking about this for years. Release date has been moved dozens of times.

They also have to meet a December 2016 release.

First movie poster released.

This is opening five days after Star Wars Rogue One...

It will be interesting if they could turn this into a film franchise... there are so many Assassin's Creed games....I dont know if its possible to adapt them all.

The thing is there's rumours it may not be based on any specific game at all. They're just bringing thing's from that world.

I love 'The Movie' bit. Delightfully old school.

 

[Quasimod0]

Yeah its been a while since I've seen anything say "The Movie" like that.

The poster is for a convention so for the actual theatrical poster, don't expect 'The Movie' on there.

After watching the trailer for Macbeth, the director clearly knows his visuals, this should be good in that regards. Plus with Ubisoft being directly involved with the development of the movie gives me faith that this could be the first at the least decent videogame adaptation.

 

[Hurm...]

If they are smart, they should let Kurzel do his own thing and not interfere with that.

He's still not going to get his say in everything, it's a studio movie, he'll have to compromise at some point. However, Ubisoft is the only thing that gives me hope that there's a chance of a good collaboration and a good movie.

Oh I don't doubt it will have a crappy "Dawn of the Genisis of Origins" subtitle, but let me bask in it for the time being.

didn't really need a subtitle though. can't ait to see the fass in that awesome cowl.

Synopsis

Desmond Miles, a bartender is captured by a large corporation and is forced into a machine, named "The Animus", allowing him to relive the memories of his ancestors -- Most of whom are Assassins -- to retrieve powerful and dangerous artifacts.

 

[dude stannis]

Desmond? I doubt it.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Spoiler Tv? Nope.

"Ariane Labed Joins Cast of ‘Assassin’s Creed’ Opposite Michael Fassbender

EXCLUSIVE: Ariane Labed, the Greek-born French actress who made such a stirring impression in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Cannes fave The Lobster, has boarded the cast of Assassin’s Creed. The Justin Kurzel-directed New Regency live-action adaptation of the Ubisoft video game stars Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard. This would be the highest-profile role yet for the 31-year-old actress who already has a clutch of awards under her belt for her fearless work. She won the Best Actress award in Venice in 2010 for her performance in Athina Rachel Tsangari’s Attenberg. She also won the Locarno Best Actress award last year for her work in Lucia Borleteau’s Fidelio, Alice’s Odyssey.

Labed will play the role that Alicia Vikander was circling at one point. The actress could not get the dates to fit with her other commitments — namely her role in the upcoming Jason Bourne installment for Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass. The Assasssin’s Creed producers moved quickly to lock down one of Europe’s most exciting and versatile actresses in Labed."

Obviously the setting will be heavily European, which is great for me.

Labed was beautiful in Before Midnight. Also I had no idea that she's 31; she looked 23 in the film.

Michael K. Williams Lands Key Roles in ‘Assassin’s Creed,’ ‘Ghostbusters’ (EXCLUSIVE)

With “Boardwalk Empire” having ended its run last fall, Michael K. Williams is finding ways to stay busy on the bigscreen.

Williams, who played Chalky White on “Boardwalk,” is in negotiations for supporting roles in two upcoming tentpoles: Sony’s “Ghostbusters” and New Regency’s “Assassin’s Creed.”

He will first shoot “Ghostbusters,” which is currently in production. The femme-powered pic is being directed by Paul Feig and stars Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy. Williams’ character, however, is being kept under wraps.

Williams will then film “Assassin’s Creed,” which stars Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, in the fall. Details on this role are also vague, but sources tease that his character has a major stake in the franchise. His role will be equivalent to a co-starring one, alongside Fassbender, in the sequel.

Justin Kurzel is directing the pic based on the popular video game.

Although Williams is looking to dive deeper into the film realm, he is still staying busy on the TV end, landing one of the starring roles in the SundanceTV series “Hap and Leonard.” He can be seen next in the IFC miniseries “The Spoils Before Dying,” opposite Wiig.

He is repped by WME and Silver Lining Entertainment.
