MOVIE NEWS \u2013 Can we expect a great video game adaptation<\/strong><\/em> finally? 20th Century Fox tries to convince us so, and they have just released the second, new trailer for Assassin’s Creed<\/strong><\/em> to prove it! With the acting skills and star power in the form of Michael Fassbender<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and a very popular game franchise at their back, they may very well succeed where many adaptations have failed.<\/p>\n
Video game adaptation<\/strong><\/em>s had a troubled past in Hollywood. The movies<\/strong><\/em> are almost always critical failures, and we have yet to receive a video game<\/strong> movie<\/strong><\/em> that was an actual success at the box office. Warcraft did become the highest- earning video game movie of all time this year, with $433 million worldwide. Still, the flick barely made a dent in the US and didn’t fair very well with critics either. So it wasn’t the breakthrough some were hoping it would be. Assassin’s Creed boasts a very impressive cast led by Michael Fassbender<\/strong><\/em>, Marion Cotillard<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, and Jeremy Irons<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, so it has that going for it.<\/p>\n
20th Century Fox could use a big hit after movie<\/strong><\/em>s like Independence Day: Resurgence underperformed this summer. Even if the Assassin’s Creed movie<\/strong><\/em> is received very well, it will be facing very stiff competition as it is coming out less than a week after Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and is coming out the same day as the new Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawerence sci-fi movie Passengers. Assassin’s Creed<\/strong><\/em> is being directed by Justin Kurzel<\/a><\/strong><\/em> and is set for a December 21 release date. Take a look at the new trailer for Assassin\u2019s Creed below.<\/p>\n
