Earlier this summer we learned that Ubisoft's popular action-adventure video game Assassin's Creed was being adapted for film, with Michael Fassbender set to star.
Today New Regency Productions together with Ubisoft Motion Pictures announced the project was being fast-tracked, starting with the immediate development of a screenplay.
"Bringing aboard New Regency's renowned production and distribution expertise while maintaining our own creative and financial flexibility ensures that Assassin's Creed will be a high-quality film that respects the lore and fans of the video game franchise," said said Jean-Julien Baronnet, CEO, Ubisoft Motion Pictures.
Launched in 2007, the "Assassin's Creed" games have sold more than 40 million units worldwide. There are three basic storylines relating to the various titles and platform versions to date, with the most recent, Assassin's Creed III, scheduled for release later this month, set during the American Revolutionary War.
