@Master Sima Yi I liked Cross but I've always felt he's filling the role Lucy would have had in III if the games had remained a trilogy.

@Alientraveller Seems like Fassbender will be Desmond 2.0 to introduce the world to a new audience. Think references to the games' modern day story will at most be easter eggs. Like casting David Bowie or something. And who would want to be the writer that has to tell Western cinemagoers that "Oh by the way, as well as this Assassin/Templar conspiracy and genetic memory business, there's also a Roman goddess who isn't a goddess in the Internet trying to take over the world which happened off-camera a couple of years ago. PS. Christianity is a sham."?
