The Assassin’s Creed movie has been delayed from July 2015 to 7 August 2015, distributor Twentieth Century Fox has announced.
2015 is shaping up to be a good year for gaming-related movies, with Star Wars: Episode VII and the WarCraft movie both confirmed for December.
New Regency is producing the film. “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 videogame franchise,” said Jean-Julien Baronnet, CEO of Ubisoft Motion Pictures.
In July, it was revealed that Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class, Prometheus) has signed-up to star and produce.
New Regency president and CEO Brad Weston said working with Fassbender on Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave made the partnership on Assassin’s Creed “more irresistible.”
“We wanted to do everything we could to secure the rights to ‘Assassin’s Creed,’ which Ubisoft has maintained with such care and quality over the years,” he said.
