Frank Marshall has signed on to produce the upcoming big screen take on Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed, according to a story today at The Hollywood Reporter. Set to star Michael Fassbender, the film version is slated to hit the big screen May 22, 2015.
The original game involves a bartender named Desmond Miles, captured by a secret organization with ties to the Knight Templar who repeatedly send Miles back in time into the body of his assassin ancestors to retrieve valuable historical artifacts, the first time going back to the Crusades.
Marshall’s wide range of producerial credits include Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future, The Sixth Sense and the upcoming (but currently on hold) Jurassic Park IV.
