Depends on whether the story is more like Assassin's Creed II (minimal modern day, really a framing device) or The Fall (the modern day was more important than Orelov's story). Given Kurzel was chosen because he directed Macbeth, I imagine it's closer to the former, and what people expect from an AC movie.
