Ubisoft Motion Pictures<\/strong>, the film and television division of Ubisoft, will develop the Assassin\u2019s Creed<\/strong> film in close collaboration with New Regency<\/strong>. The development of a screenplay is beginning immediately and the project is being fast tracked as the creative pieces come together, while allowing Ubisoft to maintain control of key elements of the movie’s creative direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cUbisoft chose to partner with New Regency because they are a talent- and filmmaker-driven company, with the same independent and creative mindset that we have at Ubisoft Motion Pictures,\u201d said Jean-Julien Baronnet<\/strong>, chief executive officer, Ubisoft Motion Pictures. \u201cBringing aboard New Regency\u2019s renowned production and distribution expertise while maintaining our own creative and financial flexibility ensures that ‘Assassin’s Creed’ will be a high-quality film that respects the lore and fans of the video game franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n

The partnership with New Regency comes hot on the heels of Ubisoft Motion Pictures attaching distinguished actor Michael Fassbender<\/strong> to the Assassin\u2019s Creed film.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to do everything we could to secure the rights to ‘Assassin’s Creed,’ which Ubisoft has maintained with such care and quality over the years,\u201d said Brad Weston, president and chief executive officer, New Regency. “Having just finished working with Michael on Steve McQueen’s ’12 Years A Slave’ <\/strong>(with Plan B) made the partnership even more irresistible.”<\/p>\n
