With the Assassin's Creed movie starring "X Men: Apocalypse" actor Michael Fassbender getting pushed back from its previously announced August 7, 2015 release date, the movie has been confirmed to push on through despite the delays. It has been repoted that Fox is rearranging its 2015 lineup and decided to give the Fantastic Four reboot its release on the said date.
Not to worry fans and moviegoers, Michael Fassbender himself gave an update via IGN, confirming that he is still very involved with the project:
Nothing has changed, yeah. I'm still a part of Assassin's Creed, and we're working on the script as we speak. Actually, I'm going to go back and see the writers when I get back to Europe."
He also added:
"You know, we absolutely want to respect the game. There's so much cool stuff in the game that we're actually spoiled for choice in terms of what we can use and what we can't, but we also want to bring new elements to it and perhaps our own version of things that already exist in the game. But we're definitely making a feature film, and we're approaching it as a feature film, as opposed to approaching it as a video game. But I love the world. I don't really play that many video games, but when I met up with the guys from Ubisoft and they started to explain this whole world and the idea of DNA memory - you know, I think it's a very feasible scientific theory. I just thought, 'This is so rich,' and about the possibility of it being this cinematic experience. So I'm really excited about it, and we're working very hard to make sure that we've got the best and most exciting, original package."
It is also reported that the actor has been made a major producer on the movie and its potential sequels, which is quite fitting, as the actor is no stranger to genre films. First starring in Zack Snyder's 300 and Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds then probably his most famous role portraying mutant Magneto in X-Men: First Class.
