Rumors about the Assassin's Creed movie are popping up and one of them is the worst thing they could do to the franchise.
The Assassin's Creed movie is being re-written. Hollywood news site Deadline reports that Adam Cooper and Bill Collage are rewriting the script for the live-action movie starring Michael Fassbender.
Ubisoft Motion Pictures and New Regency are bringing the movie to market, though no director, cast, release date, or plot details have been announced for the big-screen adaptation of the acclaimed stealth-action series.
While no plot details have been given, there is a rumor circulating on Twitter and Facebook that the Assassin's Creed movie will be a thriller in vein of the "Da Vinci" code movies and that it would feature no parkour sequences and the action scenes are similar to the ones shown on the Bourne movies. Oh and what about Desmond Miles, Ezio and other scenes about the past? SCRAPPED!
While this rumor has not been confirmed it has put some doubt into the minds of the fans of Assassin's Creed.
Cooper and Collage most recently wrote the original draft for Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods & Kings. They also worked together on the script for George Washington biopic The General, which will be directed by Noah and Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky.
This is not the first time the Assassin's Creed movie has been re-written. British playwright Michael Lesslie wrote one of the first drafts of the Assassin's Creed film before Academy Award nominee Scott Frank (The Wolverine, Minority Report) took over.
The next Assassin's Creed game is Assassin's Creed Unity for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It launches this fall, and according to multiple reports, it won't be the only new Assassin's Creed game on the market. A second game, Assassin's Creed Comet, is reportedly coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
