Ubisoft Motion Pictures and 20th Century Fox’s Assassin’s Creed movie is certainly pushing the envelope for video game film adaptations.
The hope, of course, is that Assassin’s Creed will manage to avoid being a case of style over substance too, as that’s a problem that many a video game movie before it (including, this past summer’s Warcraft) has arguably suffered from.
Kurzel’s Macbeth was easily one of the more impressively-stylized William Shakespeare film adaptations in recent memory – and judging by the Assassin’s Creed footage unveiled thus far, the director’s video game movie should be equally stylish; boasting some impressive practical stunt work, to go along with its intriguing mythos and world-building.
