'Assassin's Creed: The Movie' for 2015 release
4 hours ago | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Assassin's Creed: The Movie has been given a release date.
Twentieth Century Fox has scheduled the film for a May 22, 2015 opening, IGN reports.
Michael Fassbender is currently attached to the project and is expected to produce and star, while Michael Lesslie is scripting the adaptation of the Ubisoft video game franchise. A director for the movie has yet to be announced.
The Prometheus star first became attached to the role last July and was described as the "first choice" by Ubisoft Motion Pictures CEO Jean-Julien Baronnet.
"Michael is an extremely smart, talented, versatile and committed actor," said Baronnet.
The games' storyline follows a bartender who learns that he is a descendant of famous assassins after being kidnapped by the Knights Templar. The action takes place during the Crusades and Renaissance.
The latest game in the series, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, will be released on October 29 in North America and on November 1 in Europe. »
Assassin’s Creed Movie Nails A Release Date
6 hours ago | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
It was around this time last year when we first heard news about the Assassin’s Creed movie. Coming off the back of X-Men: First Class and Prometheus, Michael Fassbender was also confirmed to don the coveted white robes as the central assassin. And now, courtesy of 20th Century Fox and New Regency – the two studios responsible for the big screen adaption – the film has been given a firm release date for May 22nd, 2015.
A Memorial Day weekend is an ambitious window to deploy a cinematic adaptation of Assassin’s Creed. Not to mention the rather infamous adage that filmmakers struggle to capture the essence of video games on the silver screen, but over the past few years, the latter stages of May have hosted blockbusters such as Pirates of the Caribbean: The World’s End which, incidentally, is the highest grossing film in that period. A bold decision, no doubt. »

Michael Fassbender's Assassin's Creed Film Gets a Release Date
8 hours ago | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
About a year ago, it was reported that Michael Fassbender (Prometheus, X-Men: First Class) signed on to produce and star in "Assassin's Creed," a big screen adaptation of Ubisoft's video game franchise. Ubisoft teamed up with New Regency and 20th Century Fox for the project. The plan was to have a director, cast and script by summer of 2013. English playwright Michael Lesslie was recently hired to write the script and now comes word that the film will be released on May 22nd, 2015 (Memorial Day weekend). That's a tricky release date, since it's only three weeks after "The Avengers 2," and while we have yet to get a release date for "Star Wars: Episode VII," it will likely hit theaters a week before Memorial Day weekend. "Assassin's Creed" revolves around a man (Fassbender) who learns his ancestors were trained assassins after he is kidnapped by a secret organization with ties to the Knights Templar, »
Big Screen Adaptation Of Assassin's Creed Gets A 2015 Release Date
17 hours ago | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
We still don't know an awful lot about Assassin's Creed. Despite the fact that the movie will be based on the hit Ubisoft video game franchise, there has been no word on which era (various instalments in the series take place in different historical periods) the movie will be set in. Even more to the point, we know nothing about a writer or director either! Thankfully, it appears as if news on that will be coming soon as 20th Century Fox have given it a release date of May 22nd, 2015. The developers of the video games will play a big role in its development and Michael Fassbender has been attached to star since it was first announced. Stay tuned for more! »
Assassin's Creed Hitting Theaters Memorial Day 2015
17 May 2013 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
A couple of exciting Friday night release date announcements, the biggest one being that the movie based on Ubisoft's popular video game Assassin's Creed , starring Michael Fassbender, will be released over Memorial Day weekend 2015, taking the date of May 22. So far, no director has been announced for the movie but with a date in place, one would expect that will change shortly. Also, 20th Century Fox has stepped in to distribute one of the more anticipated video game movies in recent years through their deal with co-producer New Regency Pictures. They also have grabbed a date that's wide open with no competing releases although it will open three weeks after Marvel's The Avengers 2 and anyone who knows the general release date for previous "Star Wars" movies might »
10 Indie Actors You'll See on Network TV in the New Season
16 May 2013 10:35 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
The broadcast television networks have announced the shows that will comprise their 2013-14 schedules (check out the lineups for ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox at those links), and you might be surprised at the indie cred of their collective casts. While cable channels have long seen actors with independent film-heavy resumes make the leap to their small screens, it has been much less the case for the big network. But this fall and spring will be a different story, with the following 10 actors leading the trend: Nicole Beharie The Juilliard-trained Nicole Beharie made her feature film debut as the lead in 2009's "American Violet," in which she played a single mother who's indicted under maddeningly flimsy charges as a drug dealer, and who chooses to fight the powerful Da rather than take a false guilty plea. The film, which was released by Samuel Goldwyn Films, attracted a lot of attention for Beharie, »

10 Painful Body Modifications That Made Great Performances Possible
16 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
These days you’re not a true thespian until you’ve gone AIDS skinny at least once for a role or, failing that, Stay Puft fat. Researching the many time actors have opted to change their bodies for a role, it became clear how many lists like this seem to pop up on the internet. Almost all these lists rate the change by how much was lost or gained. In an attempt to be different, I’ve decided not to judge this by a number but rather how much apparent pain they went though. It’s more fun that way, and sometimes it involves more than one movie. To give you an example of what I mean, check out the starting point: 10. Christian Bale lost 62lbs for The Machinist, then gained 100 for Batman Begins It’s still seen as the most anyone has ever lost for a role – but according to Bale, it »

Chris Pine, Amanda Seyfried join 'Z for Zachariah'
16 May 2013 2:09 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Amanda Seyfried, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Chris Pine have joined the cast of Z for Zachariah.
Based on Robert C O'Brien's 1974 novel, the science fiction thriller follows a young woman who believes she is the sole survivor of a nuclear war, only to discover a scientist who has also survived.
Seyfried will play the lead character, Ann, with Ejiofor in the role of scientist Loomis, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Pine is reportedly playing a third survivor, whose appearance "complicates matters" between Ann and Loomis, although no such character exists in O'Brien's novel.
Craig Zobel, whose true-crime drama Compliance sparked controversy upon its debut in Sundance last year, is on board to direct the adaptation.
It was announced last year that Tobey Maguire would play the role of Loomis, and it is not clear at what stage he was replaced by Ejiofor.
Ejiofor will also lead the cast of Steve McQueen's Twelve Years a Slave, »
First Look Image: Terrence Malick’s Knight of Cups with Christian Bale & Natalie Portman
16 May 2013 1:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The past few years have seen Terrence Malick become something of a prolific director, having previously spent years between his films. Malick’s upcoming work remains elusive as per his reputation, but with Cannes getting underway this week, the first official image from Knight of Cups, one of the two films he’s most recently been working on, has debuted online.
FilmNation will be showing the first footage of the film to foreign distributors over in Cannes, and THR have given us this rather brilliant first image of Natalie Portman and Christian Bale, to help those of us who aren’t foreign distributors get an early peek.
The plot is being kept largely under wraps, but it’s thought that the film is about celebrities and excess.
Bale and Portman starred on set alongside one of the most substantial ensemble casts of all time, joined by Cate Blanchett, Wes Bentley, »

‘The Counselor’ Producers Again Strike Fast To Pre-empt Frederick Forsyth’s ‘The Kill List’
15 May 2013 11:49 AM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: In a six-figure deal, producers Steve Schwartz, Paula Mae Schwartz and Nick Wechsler have preemptively acquired rights to The Kill List, the new novel by Day Of The Jackal author Frederick Forsyth. The contemporary espionage tale is described as an intricate chess game between a brilliant Marine, an Israeli agent, a teenage hacker and a mysterious psychopathic cleric. The novel will be published in September by Penguin. Forsyth also wrote The Fourth Protocol and The Odessa File. Schwartz, Schwartz and Wechsler will produce and Roger Schwartz is co-producer. They bought this preemptively as they did The Counselor, which went from a Cormac McCarthy spec to a green lit movie at lightning speed. Matching the gritty intensity that McCarthy has poured into books like No Country For Old Men, the script quickly drew director Ridley Scott and a cast that includes Michael Fassbender, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem. »

Natalie Treats Aleph to the Perfect Park Day in Paris
15 May 2013 11:20 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Natalie Portman treated her son, Aleph Millepied, to a fun afternoon around Paris yesterday after spending Mother's Day weekend together in La. She took her little one for a ride on a carrousel in the Jardin des Plantes followed by a stroll through a flowery park. The mother-son duo are getting comfortable in their home base of Paris, where they'll soon take up residence since Natalie's husband, Benjamin Millepied, acquired the position as the new director of dance at the Paris Opera Ballet beginning in September. Natalie is fitting in quality time with Aleph before her work schedule picks up with new projects. She is currently signed on for Jane Got a Gun along with recently added costar Ewan McGregor, and she's also reportedly set to star as Lady Macbeth opposite Michael Fassbender in the big-screen adaptation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth.

With cameras currently rolling on X-Men: Days of Future Past, Bryan Singer is making quite a habit of giving fans a behind-the-scenes peek at next year's X-Men sequel via his Twitter account; the director has already given us a first look at much of the ensemble cast - including Professor X (James McAvoy), Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page), Iceman (Shawn Ashmore), Storm (Halle Berry), Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Beast (Nicholas Hoult) - and now he's brought the worlds of the original X-Men trilogy and X-Men: First Class together with his latest set photo which features Wolverine and a rather human-looking Beast...

Cannes Market Loaded With Star-Driven, English-Language Pics
14 May 2013 12:45 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
In a frantic run-up to the annual film market, a cloudburst of English-language movies has swept onto the international stage.
“It’s nightmarish, amazing. This is going to be one of the busiest Cannes ever,” said Ivan Boeing of Brazilian distributor Imagem.
Martin Moszkowicz, at Germany’s Constantin, agrees that last year was robust but this year is even more so.
“There’s a huge number of projects being offered. We’ve gotten well over 200 projects over the last two or three weeks,” he said.
But he cautioned that two-thirds of projects received weren’t ready to come on to the market because they didn’t have a finished screenplay, or a director or cast fully attached.
And without these elements, there’s no guarantee they will happen.
“For the last year or two, studios have been offloading films like ‘A Walk Among the Tombstones,’ ‘American Hustle,’ ‘Solace’ and ‘The »

Cannes: Natalie Portman's Troubled 'Jane Got a Gun' Worries Buyers
14 May 2013 12:16 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
A year ago, when the Natalie Portman Western Jane Got a Gun first was coming together at Cannes, no one could have predicted that one of Hollywood's hottest projects would unravel so spectacularly. The number of stars bolting the movie have left all sides reeling -- and that’s on top of the departure of original director Lynne Ramsay. Jane finally corralled both its leading men when Joel Edgerton was joined last week by Ewan McGregor, after the project lost Michael Fassbender, Jude Law and Bradley Cooper. The film is weeks from wrapping production in New Mexico. But the danger isn’t over
