Assassins Creed film starts production September 2015

According to reports, Hollywood star Michael Fassbender, who most recently played the role of Magneto in the X-Men series, has confirmed that the Assassin's Creed film version of Ubisoft's very popular franchise will begin production officially this September.

"You say it's a long time but what I've found–it's all new to me but starting to develop scripts and work on them, they take time," says Fassbender.

"It just takes time to get a good story together and we really want to do it right. It's exciting. It's going to start this year, we'll be filming in September."

Moreover, when asked about the games and time periods the first movie will be based on, he stated:

"That's always the challenge of something that's so dense, to really find something and pare it down and basically, there are so many elements to it, so trying to translate that to an audience, you have to pick key things. So yes, that is part of it, getting through the density of it and paring down and engaging a simple story."

The problem with such films of popular games is they tend to be a bit of a let down and don't really add up to the gamers expectations.

Whatever time period thery choose, let's hope the story line is as in-depth as the games themselves and ensure the film does the game justice.
