Assassin’s Creed Movie To Be Like Batman Begins
In an interview with Premiere Magazine, Ubisoft Motion Pictures CEO Jean-Julien Baronnet talked about the highly anticipated Assassins Creed movie, and how it’ll be like Batman Begins:
“[Michael Fassbender] accepted very quickly. And it was the only actor which we thought was obvious. So we started with the actor, which is incongruous. Even more incongruous, he engaged us with nothing. There was no script, no studio or anything. We told him we were going to build the project together, we have a huge brand and we want to make a make a film with references to feature films like Batman Begins and Blade Runner. That is why we tend to. He was promised that he could work with the writers, we would associate it with all key creative choices.”
Assassin’s Creed is currently filming in Europe under the direction of Macbeth’s Justin Kurzel and also stars Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Brendan Gleeson, and Michael K. Williams.
It’s important to note that Michael Fassbender will portray Callum Lynch, a protagonist created exclusively for the film (which will share the same universe as the games and comics). So he will not be, or related too most likely, any of the previous assassins from the games.
