The movie adaptation of the popular video game "Assassin's Creed" finally has an official release date. 20th Century Fox announced that the "Assassin's Creed" film, starring critically-acclaimed actor Michael Fassbender, will be out in cinemas on Dec. 21. 2016.

Fassbender will not only be back, he will also be one of the producers of the film together with Conor McCaughan. The actor said that he was ecstatic when he found out that he will be given the opportunity of working on the film.

Fassbender said:
"When I met up with the guys from Ubisoft and they started to explain this whole world and the idea of DNA memory – you know, I think it's a very feasible scientific theory. I just thought, 'This is so rich,' and about the possibility of it being this cinematic experience. So I'm really excited about it, and we're working very hard to make sure that we've got the best and most exciting, original package,"


He will allegedly portray the role of Desmond Miles, the game's protagonist. No other cast member has been confirmed so far, but the studio announced that Fassbender's "Macbeth" director Justin Kurzel will be directing him again in this movie.

It's a pretty new concept for a movie.
Hope they didn't change the key elements, for anyone's sake..

Since it's gonna be like Origins, do you think it will start with Altair or pretty new hero?

I hope they don't **** up the movie too much and recreate the atmosphere that the first Assassin's Creed created.

^I dont know mon, the Prince of Persia film was pretty mediocre.. they completely removed the main storyline part about the sands of time, the Dahaka, Kaileena etc etc
Im sure they will nerf the story line for non gamers to watch and enjoy

Amen.

This is a movie, not a game. The target audience are not gamers but regular plebs who don't have the patience for a history lecture or the characters backgrounds. I don't really have much expectations from this either but I hope Michael Fassbender delivers his best.

Btw, Dahaka/Kaileena is the perp of PoP:Warrior within, not Sands of Time. The girl in SoT is Farah, the daughter of Maharajah.
The main blunder they did in SoT movie, is they tried to pour all the elements from different PoP games into a single movie. For Ex:
1) Dastan riding in a horse with Red turban is a homage to PoP (2008) intro scene.
2) Dastan using the dagger for the first time unleashing its power, thereby transforming his body with Sand is from PoP:The Two Thrones movie.

When I heard that the Prince Of Persia movie was coming out, I expected exactly this. But they screwed it up a bit too much. They also made it somewhat humorous, but then again, it was a Disney production.

Personally, I don't like the choice for the main actor... Of course, I can't wait to see it!
This game series has millions of fans around the world, I hope they won't disappoint us with this movie.

Lol.

They are not making the movie for the gamers, they are making it for everyone else. Therefore, expect it to be radically different from the game series.

This is, unfortunately, also the source of major suckage.

Before hardcore Assassin's Creed gamers start scratching their heads (and filling up the comments) about how exactly Callum Lynch fits into the game world, we can tell you that Fassbender’s character was created specifically for the film. (The movie isn’t retelling any of the existing games, but rather introducing new characters into the same world.)

Lynch discovers he is a descendant of the secret Assassins society through unlocked genetic memories that allow him to relive the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. After gaining incredible knowledge and skills he’s poised to take on the oppressive Knights Templar in the present day.​

adding to the story is a much better approach than redoing what the game's story was..
Me LIKEY, this movie will be faithful to the gamers as well as the casul audience
