Oscar-nominated screenwriter Scott Frank, best known for work on Steven Soderberg’s OUT OF SIGHT and most recently, impressive X-MEN spin-off THE WOLVERINE, has revealed that he is currently hard at work rewriting the script for Fox and Ubisoft Motion Pictures’ adaptation of video-game ASSASSINS CREED. However, he didn’t disclose the name of the original writer which is still unknown. The project has the brilliant Michael Fassbender set for the lead, as well as serving as a producer, but we’re still awaiting confirmation on a director.
Frank has just completed work on his directorial debut, the gritty crime-thriller A WALK AMONGST THE TOMBSTONES starring Liam Neeson, and is eager for a quick return behind-the-camera. Could Fox have been impressed enough to offer him the job, if Ubisoft okayed a deal they retain strict creative control over? We’ll find out soon with ASSASSINS CREED slated for release 19th June 2015.
