Also:

And already Hans Zimmer's name overshadows Kyd's. =/

The joke?
Hans Zimmer does not even compose. Lorne Balfe composes the vocal theme and some other stuff and Jesper Kyd is still pretty much main composer.

Assassin's Bollywood...or Bollywood's Creed. Whatever.

 

[Celes Chere]

That was very... interesting, lol.

So Assassin's Creed is getting a movie

The subsidiary Screen Gems already has their own video game franchise with Resident Evil still alive and kicking, but now Sony Pictures is ramping up another video game adaptation for the big screen. Variety has word that the studio is closing a deal to adapt the popular Assassin's Creed video game series into a feature film franchise. Other studios had been vying for the property when Ubisoft started shopping it around Hollywood over the past several months, but Sony Pictures came out on top. The timing couldn't be better with the fourth game, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, hitting shelves on November 15th. Read on!

The video game series follows a bartender named Desmond Miles who is captured by a secret corporation called Abstergo Industries and forced to go back in time to various historical periods like the Renaissance and Crusades to relieve the memories of his ancestors, who are all assassins, in order to recover ancient artifacts. The series has built up quite a fanbase since it started in 2007, so there should be plenty of gamers ready for a feature film version. In addition, the high concept story sounds like a perfect story for a summer blockbuster, as long as it fares better than most of the video game adaptation that hit theaters. Excited?

hmmmm, not sure how to feel about this yet. excitement?

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

I flailed like my arms were made of jelly so yes excitement on my part.

I also flailed like my arms were tentacles, for great justice.

It was only a matter of time before someone made AC into a movie series. I hope that it's good but video game adaptations don't exactly have the best track record.

 

[Lumina]

Oh...my...God...
Screen Gems has a tendency for ruining good games. I hope that, unlike Resident Evil, the movies do justice to AC.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

But it's not Screen Gems it's Sony Pictures. A little hope perhaps.

 

[Lumina]

Well, IDK since they made the Resident Evil movies....as soon as I read that all my hopes of good material went down.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

I'm hoping Ubisoft gets to work with Sony because that would make all the difference.

ALSO NO FUCKING WHITEWASHING I SWEAR TO GOD IF WE GET SOME GRINGO TO BE ALTAIR I WILL ACTUALLY CUT A BITCH.

 

[Tetsujin]

But it's not Screen Gems it's Sony Pictures. A little hope perhaps.

Screen Gems belongs to Sony Pictures though. xP

The news don't excite me tbh.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

Screen Gems belongs to Sony Pictures though. xP

I realized that after I typed it. WHOOPS.

Though it being attached to just Sony Pictures and not Screen Gems specifically could make all the difference. Who knows.

 

[ForceStealer]

I wonder if a movie will even bother with the whole present business or if they'll just follow Ezio. Of course, knowing video game movies this could be a movie about a punk rocker in New York in the early 80s and they'll just put "Assassin's Creed" on the box.

Maybe it's the name of his band.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

Someone said Ubisoft has creative control over the movie though... not sure where they read that though.

But that movie does sound pretty rad

 

[Hisako]

I want to be optimistic!

But I can't
Not ever D:

Ezio's model looks pretty boss, and he fits right in.

 

[ForceStealer]

Better guest character than Heihachi, Yoda, and Darth Vader were at least. (Don't have anything against Heihachi, but someone from Tekken hardly feels like a guest. Yoshimitsu's been in Tekken for a long time.)

 

[OneWingedDemon]

I dun even like SC much. Should have shoved him in MK instead

 

[Hisako]

Nuh uh

but my favorite game should have character X




, I like how stylistically he meshes so well with the others in terms of visual character design and fight moves.

imo I'm not a huge fan of SoulCalibur but this was definitely a smart choice.

 

[OneWingedDemon]

LOL, that having been said, I will most likely rent/borrow this bitch

 

[OneWingedDemon]

BUMP!

It's started!

 

[OneWingedDemon]

BUMPITY BUMP! (again)

Ezio Sackboy costume available for LBP this November =)
