Michael Fassbender To Star In 'Assassin's Creed'
It's not "The Continuing Adventures of Young Magneto, Nazi-Killer," but this will certainly do.
"X-Men: First Class" and "Shame" actor Michael Fassbender is attached to star in "Assassin's Creed," based on the massively successful video game franchise from Ubisoft. He'll co-produce the project through his DMC Film with partner Conor McCaughan, with Ubisoft Motion Pictures developing the film outside of the traditional Hollywood studio system "in order to maintain greater creative control," Variety reports. At one point, Ubisoft was in negotiations with Sony to produce the adaptation; those talks have since been sidelined.
The "Assassin's Creed" video games center on an ancient order of assassins spanning a vast number of time periods from the Crusades to the American Revolution. When a young man named Desmond Miles is abducted by a secret organization with ties to the Knights Templar, he learns that he's connected to these assassins in a way he never could have imagined.
