Following a significant period of anticipation, it is now officially announced that Netflix will produce a live-action rendition based on the legendary Assassin’s Creed video game franchise.
For nearly five years, there have been whispers about a potential collaboration between Netflix and Ubisoft, the creators of Assassin’s Creed, regarding an adaptation project that began in 2020.
After multiple teams have assumed control of the project, it has now received approval for production as stated by Variety. In simpler terms, after several teams stepped in, the project got the green light, and we’re ready to start filming.
The series will be led by Roberto Patino and David Wiener in the roles of creators, managers, and executive producers.
Patino and Wiener expressed their admiration for the game Assassin’s Creed, stating they have been supporters since it first came out in 2007.
They noted: “Each day we put into this series, we leave feeling exhilarated and humbled by the opportunities Assassin’s Creed presents to us. Beyond the scale, the grandeur, the parkour, and the excitement lies a foundation for the most fundamental type of human narrative – one that follows individuals as they seek meaning, grapple with issues concerning identity, destiny, and belief.
This series explores themes like power, aggression, desire, avarice, and retribution, but above all, it underscores the importance of human relationships, transcending boundaries of culture and era. It also highlights the potential devastation we face as a species when these bonds are severed.
Behind us stands an incredible team, including members from Ubisoft and Netflix, and we are dedicated to producing a truly unforgettable experience for fans across the globe.
Additionally, Matt O’Toole, along with Gerard Guillemot from Ubisoft Film & Television, Margaret Boykin, and Austin Dill, will join the team in their capacity as executive producers for this project.
Ever since its introduction in 2007, Assassin’s Creed has risen to fame as one of the top-performing video game franchises, both critically and financially. Its most recent installment, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, was released earlier this year.
Despite the 2016 movie version featuring Michael Fassbender having been released, Netflix is anticipating a much more favorable reception this time, as the current film has garnered only an 18% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Previously, Patino’s work has earned recognition in series such as Westworld, DMZ, and Sons of Anarchy. On the other hand, Wiener possesses a background in video games, having served as the showrunner for season 2 of Halo.
This live-action series is the initial production under the Netflix-Ubisoft collaboration, coming after the animated shows Rabbid’s Invasion, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, and the forthcoming Splinter Cell: Deathwatch.
In this way, I have maintained the original meaning while making it more conversational and easy to understand.
