The Kidd here...
Things have been in a holding pattern on the ASSASSIN'S CREED big screen adaptation ever since it was announced over the summer that Michael Fassbender was attached to star in the film. However, the movie just took a big step forward with Variety reporting that New Regency and Fox have come aboard to finance and distribute the film.
Ubisoft will continue to have creative input as a script is developed and the film eventually moves towards production. The game company went through a very careful process in shopping this property around, and ulitimately chose to land it at New Regency and Fox. That doesn't mean that ASSASSIN'S CREED is a guarantee. As we've seen in the past HALO and BIOSHOCK fell apart in the past in similar fashion, but one has to at least be cautiously optimistic that ASSASSIN'S CREED - a series that's so far moved 37 million games and counting,with a third game
