Assassins Creed will try its luck on TV

Image A year ago, Hollywood insiders announced that the management of the New Regency film studio is ready to shoot a whole series of films based on the video games Assassin's Creed by Ubisoft . However, the unsuccessful performance at the box office of the tape " Assassin's Creed " made it clear that the studio bosses were in vain making long-term plans.

Justin Kurzel's painting received devastating press reviews and earned $ 241 million at the box office. To the disappointment of the producers, this amount was not even enough to recoup the film's $ 125 million production budget. The final financial losses of the studio can amount to tens of millions of dollars, since at one time it did not stint on a very active promotional campaign for an adventure blockbuster.

Although the representatives of New Regency have not yet officially abandoned plans to develop the film series, it seems that in the coming years, viewers will no longer see the characters of the gaming franchise on the big screens. In an interview with Reddit , Ubisoft spokesman Aimar Azazia admitted that his company plans to create a television series based on Assassin's Creed .

Aimar did not go into the details of the project and urged fans of the popular game series to be patient. According to him, the bosses of Ubisoft will only launch the series into production when they are fully confident that they have a really strong script on their hands. It is possible that the work on the multi-part drama will be entrusted to the company's own film department, which is currently involved in the creation of films based on the games Splinter Cell and The Division. Tom Hardy intends to play the main role in the first, and Jake Gyllenhaal will lead the cast of the second.

Last year, rumors surfaced that the Ubisoft Film Division might begin a partnership with the online service Netflix , but to date, they have not been confirmed. Many Assassin's Creed fans will surely be happy if eventually the TV adaptation of their favorite gaming franchise finds shelter on the streaming giant that has brought the world such small screen hits as Daredevil, Jessica Jones. Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Marco Polo, Lemony Snicket: 33 Misfortunes, Hustlers and Mysterious Events.
