Thankfully, Ubisoft are actually making the film, and Sony are only the distributors, so we can be (at least a little) confident that it will be faithful to the game and a good film. I wouldn't have guessed Fassbender would be chosen to play Desmond, but he's such a great actor. His portrayal of Magneto in X-Men: First Class was amazing. Let's just hope it's as good as we hope!!!
