NME has reported that "X-Men:Days of Future Past"star Michael Fassbender is still part of the Assassin's Creed movie.
"Nothing has changed, yeah. I'm still a part of Assassin's Creed, and we're working on the script as we speak. Actually, I'm going to go back and see the writers when I get back to Europe."
IGN has also conducted an interview with Fassbender regarding his thoughts on the movie.
"You know, we absolutely want to respect the game. There's so much cool stuff in the game that we're actually spoiled for choice in terms of what we can use and what we can't, but we also want to bring new elements to it and perhaps our own version of things that already exist in the game."
"I don't really play that many video games"
"I just thought, 'This is so rich,' and about the possibility of it being this cinematic experience. So I'm really excited about it, and we're working very hard to make sure that we've got the best and most exciting, original package."
He further adds.
"We're definitely making a feature film, and we're approaching it as a feature film, as opposed to approaching it as a video game... When I met up with the guys from Ubisoft and they started to explain this whole world and the idea of DNA memory - you know, I think it's a very feasible scientific theory."
