Assassins Creed Cast Talks Breaking The Video Game Movie Curse

I think we all know that Rek is going to be extremely biased about the upcoming Assassins Creed movie since he is such a huge fan of the games. Realistically though, movies based on video games have never been particularly well received. Resident Evil may have been a success from a monetary point of view, but critics panned the film and it was viewed as bearing the video game movie curse.

Well, Assassins Creed looks to be a game changer. The cast recently spoke about the movie and the ‘curse’.

Michael Fassbender who is producing the film, along with starring as the protagonist, Callum Lynch had a bit to say on the subject. Fassbender acknowledged the problem, but it doesn’t obscure his desire to make the best movie possible, “I was naive to be honest, it’s only in a hindsight in one, sort of journalists to tell you there’s a curse on video games. Then you go through the films that have been made… It’s only a curse until somebody makes a good one, and then it’s a different story. For me, I just found this universe to be fascinating and I thought there was so much in it that would lend itself so well to cinema experience. Never really concern me, and again, those kind of worries, or anything, you would stress around these areas is pointless, because there’s nothing you can do about that all. Only you can do is focus your energies and try to make something good. Stressing about things like that don’t get you anywhere”.
