Yesterday I went to see the new chapter in the Alien franchise,
Alien: Covenant.
And
to be honest, I still have no idea how I feel about it. Was it good?
Was it bad? I can’t really say, I think I need to let this one aside
from my mind for a little while... Let’s discuss some details[As usual,
WARNING, SPOILERS AHEAD!]
Here we are. I came back from watching X-Men: Apocalypse yesterday. I can't believe this 4th X-Men film from Bryan Singer is already the 6th X-Men film since the first film was released in 2000 (9th, counting the Wolverine spinoff movies and Deadpool)
And you know what? I still enjoyed this film! Apocalypse was a far better film than I expected. It was fun. I actually would say the series' never been better as it is today, it's only getting ever closer and more faithful to the actual source material over the years. (WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!)
Alright, some fans - at BinarySunProductions - have re-edited the Michael Fassbender's Assassin's Creed film (or as I like to call it, Fassassin's Creed) with the actual game music. And it's a ton better than the cheesy cliché mainstream rap-music one. Check it out:
ALRIGHT! Now we're talking! I'm finally properly hyped for the film now! Why didn't they do that right away? Even for mainstream audiences this sounds a ton better, more appropriate and more epic!!!
No, this is not a picture of Michael
Fassbender cosplaying as Ezio from the Assassin’s Creed video game series, but it's actually the first pic and our first look at the upcoming Assassin’s Creed live action film.
Yes, it appears it is now finally officially happening!
The film is set to star Michael
Fassbender as "Callum Lynch", an original protagonist as to better fit the game continuity and be part of the overall main canon of the franchise. The story will see Abstergo creating the Animus. - which allows people to relive the genetic history of their
ancestors. Fassbender will also probably play the ancestor of Lynch,
Aguilar, a 15th-Century Spanish assassin.
The release date is set for December 21,
2016. The film will star Marion Cotillard, Michael Kenneth Williams and Ariane Labed, and it will be directed by Justin Kurzel.
First Assassin’s Creed: The Movie teaser poster? First Assassin’s Creed: The Movie teaser poster!
O...kay. It's just an eagle - the iconic animal linked with the franchise -, the logo, and a date.
In case you didn't knew, yes, this is a thing. The film will be produced through Ubi's new film branch, Ubisoft Motion Pictures. It appears the film is boringly simply titled "Assassin’s Creed: The Movie". I was honestly expecting a subtitle or something. Does this mean it will be directly based on the first game of the series? I was expecting another tale in the same universe...
The Assassin’s Creed movie will be directed by Macbeth director Justin Kurzel. And the film might be quite similar to this Macbeth (which is getting a lot of good reviews btw), the film will also star Macbeth leads Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard. Will be get to see Desmond from the first few AC games back?
This Assassin’s Creed will be released next year on December 21, 2016.
