While on the press tour for the film Slow West, Michael Fassbender offered an update on the status of the long-in-development Assassin’s Creed movie, revealing that it will begin production in September.
“You say it’s a long time but what I’ve found–it’s all new to me but starting to develop scripts and work on them, they take time,” Fassbender told ComingSoon. “It just takes time to get a good story together and we really want to do it right. It’s exciting. It’s going to start this year, we’ll be filming in September.” Assassin’s Creed is expected to open December 21, 2016.
