Who's Involved: Justin Kurzel (The Snowtown Murders, the upcoming Macbeth) is directing, Michael Fassbender stars and produces, while Bill Collage, Adam Cooper (Accepted, Exodus: Gods and Kings) and Michael Lesslie (Macbeth) are writing it. What's It About: The primary plot of the source material revolves around the decades-long feud between the Assassins and the Knights Templar, following the conflict with the help of modern day bartender Desmond Miles, who is a descendant of numerous reputed Assassins. Why We Should Care: The video game series has sold over 75 million copies to date, so it's kind of a big deal. When's It Due: Despite originally being planned for a summer 2015 bow, Creed has since been pushed back to December 21, 2016.
