If Netflix gives Ubisoft enough money and creative control, the final result could be better than any video game movie ever made — including Assassin’s Creed.
When ScreenCrush ranked every video game movie ever made from worst to best, there was a clear #1 pick: Assassin’s Creed, Justin Kurzel’s adaptation of the popular series of Ubisoft games about an endless war through history between the Assassins and the Templars.
Admittedly, saying anything is the best video game movie is damning with faint praise.
A movie can only really focus on one story, while a TV show could potentially explore different eras and characters.
