Renowned actor and human/shark hybrid Michael Fassbender is attached to produce the upcoming Assassinā€™s Creed movie. Not only that, heā€™ll also take the ā€œleadā€ role as time-simulating killer-in-training Desmond Miles. 

Itā€™s going to be pretty interesting to see a game with such a convoluted premise become a movie. Iā€™m not sure how well the concept will translate to the cinema screen, but Fassbenderā€™s attachment is always a nice way to kick things off. 

In any case, Ubisoft is taking this one seriously. It wants a writer and director before it negotiates with a studio, and itā€™ll be using its internal studios to save production costs on visual effects. Sony was originally primed to get the rights, but talks are currently on hold. 

Iā€™ll make your movie, Ubisoft. We all know itā€™s going to be in 3D and thus be an hour of knives flung at a camera in slow-motion. I can do that for fifty bucks.
