The "Assassin's Creed" live-action movie is undergoing a rewrite New Regency and Ubisoft have hired two new writers to pen the script.
Deadline reports writers Adam Cooper and Bill Collage will be taking on the video game adaptation's script. Cooper and Collage are responsible for penning the scripts of "Exodus: Gods & Kings" and Darren Afronofsky's "The General."
The "Assassin's Creed" movie production will star "X-Men: Days of Future Past" actor Michael Fassbender as Desmond Miles. However, the film's production has been moving quite slowly considering the studio is aiming for a 2015 release date.
A big red flag for some movie bloggers is the film hasn't signed on a director. Latino Review reported back in January the "Assassin's Creed" movie production was eyeing Daniel Espinosa for their director.
"If you haven't seen Safe House, chances are you haven't seen anything Swede Daniel Espinosa has directed," The Latino Review reported. "Mostly because those movies are not in English. If you saw Easy Money, you probably remember it more as the first time Joel Kinnaman (soon to be the new Robocop) made a name for himself."
"So, it's entirely possible that the rumor that Espinosa is circling New Regency's film adaptation of Assassin's Creed is true, as he seems like an action and budget friendly director for this sort of fare (producer Michael Fassbender is attached to play the lead)," according to The Latino Review. "However, New Regency is shooting this rumor down whenever it comes up, so...that's on the other hand. If Assassin's Creed is going to make a 2015 release, though, it'd better get a director onboard."
The live-action "Assassin's Creed" movie is slated to hit theaters on June 19, 2015.
