To keep my personal opinion out of the article, I will post it here instead. I am very disappointed that Ubisoft has decided to make the story based on that of the games, mainly because you can't cramp the story of one or even multiple games into a film and still keep all of its aspects, and because most film adaptions of video games tend to suck (like ).

Now they will have to cut out a lot of important things from the story and simplify it a lot so that it can fit into the timeframe of a movie, making me believe that the project is only being made for commerce rather than for the sake of the Assassin's Creed universe.

Had they created completely new characters, which would have been much better in my opinion, this problem wouldn't be there. We still have no idea who Subjects 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 are, why not create stories for them? Imagine a story based on Subject 1, finding out how the Animus Project initially started! The Animus would be too primitive to be featured in a game regardless. I'm really disappointed in this decision, and I'm not looking forward to this as much as I could have. The film may blow me away, but it will have to be absolutely spectacular for that.
