Assassin’s Creed fans looking forward to the launch of the new movie based on the popular series of games will be pleased to learn that today Ubisoft will be developing the new Assassin’s Creed movie, which is set to release on May 22nd, 2015.
Sony Pictures was in the running to produce the Assassin’s Creed movie, but it will not be the first time Ubisoft has ventured into the movie-making business. This new project will follow on from the likes of the Prince of Persia movie, which received mixed reviews. The Prince of Persia movie, released in 2010, was based on another popular Ubisoft game series and starred Jake Gyllenhaal. Despite its mixed critical reception, it managed to gross over $336 million worldwide, showcasing the potential for video game adaptations in the film industry.
Visual Effects and Production
Visual effects within the new Assassin’s Creed movie will be created by Ubisoft’s own production studios. This decision ensures that the film will stay true to the visual style and aesthetic that fans of the game series have come to love. Ubisoft’s in-house production team has a deep understanding of the game’s intricate details, from the historical settings to the fluid parkour movements of the characters. This expertise is expected to translate into a visually stunning film that captures the essence of the Assassin’s Creed universe.
The film will star Michael Fassbender, who has already been signed to star in the Assassin’s Creed movie. Fassbender is known for his versatile acting skills and has starred in a variety of critically acclaimed films, including “12 Years a Slave,” “X-Men: First Class,” and “Steve Jobs.” His involvement in the project has generated significant excitement among fans and critics alike. Fassbender will not only star in the film but also serve as a co-producer, indicating his deep commitment to the project.
Plot and Expectations
While no other details about the new Assassin’s Creed movie have been released by Ubisoft, fans are speculating about the potential plot and setting of the film. The Assassin’s Creed games are known for their rich historical narratives, spanning various time periods and locations, from the Crusades to the Italian Renaissance, and even the American Revolution. This opens up a plethora of possibilities for the film’s storyline.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the Assassin’s Creed series is the concept of the Animus, a device that allows characters to relive the memories of their ancestors. This unique narrative device could provide a compelling framework for the film, allowing it to explore multiple historical periods while maintaining a cohesive storyline. Fans are eager to see how the film will incorporate this element and whether it will introduce new characters or focus on existing ones from the game series.
The success of the Assassin’s Creed movie could pave the way for more video game adaptations in the future. With the increasing popularity of video games and their complex, immersive narratives, Hollywood is beginning to recognize the potential of this medium for storytelling. If done right, the Assassin’s Creed movie could set a new standard for video game adaptations, proving that they can be both commercially successful and critically acclaimed.
