Ubisoft’s Michael Fassbender-produced Assassin’s Creed movie has hired some new writers to draft a new script for the film according to Deadline. These writers in question are Adam Cooper and Bill Collage who are working on Darren Aronofsky’s The General, which focuses on George Washington. Originally, the script was created by Scott Frank and Michael Lesslie, the former having written the scrip for The Wolverine.

Before you hit the panic button, it’s worth noting that this happens more often in Hollywood than most would think. At the very least, work is progressing on the film. When it will come out at this point is any one’s guess (it was slated to be out by August 2015) but Ubisoft is still very much invested in the project.

What are your thoughts on new writers being brought in and the overall progress of the project? Let us know your thoughts in the comments – or just tell us what you think of Assassin’s Creed: Unity, if you’re keen to discuss the next game in the series.

Speaking to The Daily Beast, Fassbender revealed the project’s status, saying, “That’s definitely happening. We’re just developing the script at the moment. I’d heard of it but had never played the game. I don’t have a video game player”.

Fassbender also revealed that his interest for the project stemmed from the fact that, “I met up with the guys from Ubisoft and they told me the story behind it, and I thought it was very interesting—the idea of reliving memories”.

The good news is that Fassbender is ridiculously talented and even when you give him a character such as Magneto, he’ll find a way to turn it into a poetic rendition. Will that work with an Assassin’s Creed film? Would it benefit from an actor approaching the project with a fresh approach? Let us know in the comments below.
