If this movie ends up being any good, it will be so on it's own merits as the game's story started goofy and went shit very fast.

So if the crew and the cast are both ignoring the games that's to our benefit.

Bruh. He's got a gorillion director friends who are on the opposite spectrum of Michael Bay. He's also Magneto, and he signed an extension on his X-Mang contract.

Big whoop. If they really are, they'd stop milking the franchise so god damn much, and actually take a step back, try to come up with something unique or different for their games, instead of making a recycled game every god damn year.

I agree that Ubisoft has pretty cool artists for their games, and some places genuinely looks nice, but god damn I wish they do something different with the gameplay. It's almost all the same shit.

It's Fassbender, he can do whatever he wants. He's interested in the concept of AC so when Ubisoft approached them he took the opportunity.

I really don't get why some of you are so against this stuff. Ubisoft already brought PoP to the big screen and it was pretty good for what it was, and with the crew of Macbeth behind Assassin's Creed I'm certain that it'll be good too.

Have a little faith, you cunts. Also, the fact that he isn't a video game player doesn't mean anything.

If you start out awkward it's hard to get past. I'm not /fit/, I'm far from it actually (trying to get there though) but about three years ago I had a huge surge of confidence due to pulling a bunch of stuff together in my life. Ever since I've had a lot of girls I know take an interest in me and I still don't know what to do about it. I don't completely lock up and spaghetti my way out but I just can't move forward either. It's a weird fucking feeling. I was a complete spaz though high school and into my early 20's though so maybe I'm just doomed for life now.

I will say, I always thought the whole 'women love confidence and funny guys' thing was bullshit but man, I think it's spot on. I'm no looker, I'm definitely not rich but ever since finding my confidence I've gotten a lot of attention.

I mean, I'm sure being attractive, wealthy, confident and funny at the same time would be best still but you know.
>>
>>321762831
>you don't even have to say anything besides 'got a place?'
This is just not true. I am like the person OP described, up until recently I thought I was unattractive but after some recent events I realize it's a combination of low self esteem/confidence and anxiety. I've never interacted with a girl sexually really aside from like two girls I kissed in high school so I opened up to a friend about it and he was surprised. He told me girls approach me all the time clearly wanting the D and that he (and a lot of other friends of mine) thought I just had really high standards (or was possibly gay).

Apparently I never pick up the signs that a girl is coming on to me. Looking back on it I realized that was the case. A girl would approach me and talk to me somewhere like a bar (somewhere you usually only interact with strangers of the opposite sex for a specific reason) and I would tell myself "There's no way she's into you girls never are she's probably just being nice" or something to that effect. Which leads to me ignoring her which leads to her being offended/sad.

The reality is a "bad" personality is a huge turn off for most women. Lack of confidence will fuck you up.

His response was bretty good though, he's like ''I didn't know shit about it but the concept was solid and I checked it out to see the phisicalty required for the role''

I am aware of that but this statement

Is false. Source material does not mean "what eh movie is scene for scene, character for character based on" it means exactly hat is says. It's the SOURCE MATERIAL as in it is the SOURCE that all the things on the screen are coming from. It is the MATERIAL that is used as the basis or SOURCE of ideas.

Are you gonna try to tell me this isn't based on the Asscreed franchise? No, you're not unless you have brain problems. I don't even like these games but actors like this ruin adaptations. He has no respect for the themes and plot points of the world he will be "living" in yet expects to be able to convince people who are very familiar with it that he is a part of it.

Actors shouldn't do adaptions if they won't even glance at the source material.

Dude it's been in development hell for five years now. Universal dropped it, Sony dropped it, it's gone through at least three different screenplays.

He's one of the few actors who doesn't need or want money at the moment, at least not explicitly. He's David Hayter and this period is his Twin Snakes.

>Dude, Ubisoft doesn't even care about the themes or plot points, and they develop the games. You're not really holding Assassin's Creed on a pedestal here?
I told you I give literally zero shits about the franchise but you aren't making a convincing argument either way. "Ubisoft doesn't try to respect the franchise or its fans so everyone involved in making the movie should do the same so it is of similarly low quality as some of the games are". That's your big arrangement? Well that's pretty stupid and will make for a movie that is not only bad but will upset the few true fans Asscreed actually has left.

>Out of curiosity, what would Fassbender hypothetically learn from the "source material" that might aid him in this movie?
I can't tell you I haven't played every game but there are absolutely certain themes that carried through the three games in the series I did play. I mean fuck man the series is about exactly that, even though its always different characters it's epitomized by being the same endless struggle that's gone on for centuries. Pretty stupid to say he shouldn't have knowledge of that history and what it means for his character. Sure a director can just tell him that shit but like I said it shows a lack of professionalism and a lack of caring for the role. He's not gonna do his job in understanding the character which will make someone else's job harder.

That has literally nothing to do with actors. Fas is acting a new character. Every player character in AC is different with different views on the Creed. It's completely up to the director to decide what kinda character will be in this film. Fas wouldn't gain anything by playing the games which he actually has played at least a bit according to the interview, which you would know if you read more than what OP on fucking /v/ says.

I'm saying the further they distance the project from Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed; the better.

I couldn't give two shits about AC. Ubisoft wants money, hopefully Kurziel and Fassbender want a good movie.

Ubisoft will never make another good game, and the AC series is far from their best attempt. There is nothing to learn from their material, anything they've written, everything they've created is garbage.

It's a film with the Assassin's Creed logo, it doesn't need to be nor should it want to in any way resemble it's "source material".

Fuck true AC fans, Fuck Ubisoft's shallow writing, Fuck Assassin's Creed. Take a cash grab, turn it into something good. I hope this movie is everything Ubisoft didn't want. I hope it gets great reviews and bombs at the box office.

I really don't get your point. People don't adapt great works for money, they adapt shitty, mass appeal crap for money. AC is the latter, hopefully by some mysterious force Kurziel and Fassbender can make it the former.

I can guarantee you one fucking thing: This movie will be the only good thing ever to have the name Assassin's Creed slapped on it. I hope it bankrupts Ubisoft.

>Watching the trailers for MGSV makes you wonder if the spirits of Dostoyevsky, Stanley Kubrick, and Caravaggio entered Hideo Kojima's body because, using the art of gaming as his canvas, he boldly goes where no one has gone before.


The trailers for Metal Gear Solid V, prove once again that Hideo Kojima is a master at portraying a wider and more complex view of human nature combined with breathtaking action sequences. A daring and bold move from one of the founders of the future of technology. With Metal Gear Solid V, Hideo Kojima has created the perfect marriage of cinematic storytelling and cutting edge gaming technology. For me, it all culminates into one word: Genius.

>endless whining about how the movie will suck if the lead actors don't play video games

It's acting, everybody. Their job is to literally pretend to do something they normally don't and to pretend to be someone they aren't. Complaining about actors not playing video games before they take on the role of a game character is like complaining that Brando was never the head of a criminal empire before he was in the Godfather. It makes no difference. If the script is good and good actors are chosen, the movie will be good. They don't need to be "gamers."

Don't worry, it'll suck like most video game based movies because the writers will do their best to make it more appealing to the average Joe, but not because of Fassy. He's classy.
>>
>>321766526
Well the trailers are great. Best in the industry quite likely.
It has always baffled me why most vidya trailers are so shit. Especially in engine trailers. You have unlimited possibilities to do amazing shots, unlimited scope and flexibility, you can fuck around freely with colours and sound effects. Yet Kojima is pretty much the only one who actually DIRECTS.
Too bad he can't write worth shit.
