After a series of failed negotiations that have taken place in the past, now the Assassin's Creed seems to take shape thanks to the arrival of Michael Fassbender ( X-Men: First Class, Prometheus ) that co-produced the film adaptation and there will also be directly as an actor. The plot is the brief summary of the universe than BCE: a man learns that his ancestors were of murderers and is captured by a secret organization linked to the Templars. Once captured, the protagonist will be transported back in time to go looking for ancient artifacts.

The production of the film will be entrusted to Ubisoft Motion Picture, without going looking for external manufacturers, and for this the creative direction is very faithful to the original without any distortion typical of film taken from existing works. UMP is a born only a year ago, led by Jean-Julien Baronnet (formerly involved in EuropaCorp), with the sole purpose of making films, television series and digital projects tied to Ubisoft videogame brands.

Sony was the company behind the previous negotiations, but it is not said that the partnership is ended: Sony could distribute the film or go to the aid of the UMP with funding. In addition to the films of Assassin's Creed , which now appears to be reality, even the film adaptations of " Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell , Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon " and an animated series of " Raving Rabbids " for the television channel Nickelodeon.
