Far too early to say anything definite - up to and including "There will be a movie" - but Fassbender plus the deep Assassin's Creed premise has the potential to make a really good film. Now, more likely it'll be like Jake Gyllenhaal's Prince of Persia, which I thought was an entertaining popcorn flick but certainly wasn't high drama. Here's hoping, though.

Yeah I couldn't believe they nabbed him. I'm surprised Fassbender would jump on this with no director attached and (I'm guessing) minimal script work at this point. They must've offered him wheelbarrows of money. Either way, if this reaches production and is actually released, I'll watch. I never saw the Prince of Persia movie either but it sounds like I didn't miss too much.

Beauty of mine, sit before me. Let me peruse you and remember you... always like this.

I immediately thought, "Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia."
Fassbender kicks ass (or gets ass or observes while someone's ass gets eaten by aliens, depending on which movie you see him in) but just attaching a name isn't enough to keep me from being wary.
I have a lot more faith in this project than most simply because Ubisoft made the decision to produce it's own games-to-movie productions. The biggest complaint about most previous adaptations has been the lack of connection to the game in question, and I think the route Ubi is on will help make sure we see more of those elements. I don't want a literal translation of one of the games, but any original story for the AC movie will feel like it fits with the AC games simply because they're handled/written by the same people.
And Fassbender is wonderful, enjoyed him is almost anything I've seen, he'll make a great assassin.
Fassbender is great, I like him a lot... But this sounds like a cash grab to me... Unless there is a great director attached.
Bloodrayne (my nieces loved the commercials for that one for some reason it just latched onto them), Tomb Raider, Alone in the Dark, DOA, Doom, Wing Commander, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Prince of Persia, Hit Man, Max Payne, Streetfighter, Super Mario Brothers, Silent Hill... am I missing any?
Can not get too excited about the thought of any video game based movie.
Hmmm... I had heard about this. The Assassin's Creed games have decent plots: at best they are deep and thought provoking; at worst they are poorly written and too silly.
Whatever, as long as the main character is not Desmond...

The live webisodes for assassins creed 2 were very well done. Lets hope it is of this caliber or better.
