Michael Fassbender is set to star in and co-produce the flick.
BOO. YA.
Espérons qu'il ne s'y attache pas à la légère (s'il co-produit, ça m'étonnerait) et que le film saura briser la malédiction qui colle aux adaptations de jeux vidéos.
Inutile de dire que l'univers a du gros potentiel et vu les choix judicieux de l'acteur jusqu'à présent, je doute qu'il fasse du Prince of Persia.
For those unfamiliar with the Assassin’s Creed video games, they involve a man in the present day who’s kidnapped by a shadowy organization, and is forced into a machine that allows him to re-live his past lives as an assassin in order to retrieve important pieces of his “genetic memory”. The first game has the assassinations taking place during the Crusades. Later games had the character slaughtering famous people in the Renaissance, and the upcoming Assassin’s Creed III is set during the American Revolution.
In addition to the distinct time periods, the series is also known for the protagonist’s ability to free-run, which should make for some fun scenes in a movie. It’s unknown if the film will adapt the first game, jump into the sequels, or craft an entirely new story by using the series’ basic premise.
