Empire
Aiming to break the curse of the video-game adaptation, Assassin’s Creed seems to have all the ingredients in place. A gifted young director (Justin Kurzel), talented supporting cast (Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Brendan Gleeson) and DP (Adam Arkapaw) and a cinematic premise involving swordplay, adventure and a bit of devilry are all reasons for optimism, as is Michael Fassbender’s presence in the two lead roles as 15th-century swashbuckler Aguilar and his genetically-linked, modern-day ancestor, Callum Lynch. And here’s another one: Fassbender is citing a certain genre-redefining sci-fi as a major inspiration.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
That's probably not a bad comparison if it's done right. The kind of pseudo-philosophical nature of the two franchises coupled with the same parkour action is exactly what I want out of an Assassin's Creed flick starring Michael Fassbender.
