The '''''Assassin's Creed'' film''' is an upcoming, feature-length motion picture, based on the award-winning [[Assassin's Creed (series)|series]] of the same name, being developed by Ubisoft Motion Pictures for a 2014 release.<ref name="IMDB">[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2094766/ IMDb: ''Assassin's Creed'']</ref><br />
<br />
The plot of the film ''"revolves around a man who learns his ancestors were trained [[Assassins]] after he is kidnapped by a [[Abstergo Industries|secret org]] with ties to the [[Templars|Knights Templar]], and sent back in time to retrieve historical artifacts."''<ref name="Variety">[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118056333.html?cmpid=RSS%7CNews%7CLatestNews Variety: ''Fassbender fastened to 'Assassins''']</ref><br />

The terms and conditions surrounding the agreement between Ubisoft and Sony have been described by Hollywood insiders as "unheard of", with Ubisoft getting the final say on budget, principal cast, script, release date and more.<ref name="GameInformer">[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/11/06/assassin-s-creed-film-sparks-hollywood-controversy.aspx GameInformer: ''Assassin’s Creed Film Sparks Hollywood Controversy'']</ref> One individual even went so far as to say that ''"The whole Ubisoft/Sony deal is a waste of ink, paper and time.

The level of control being afforded to Ubisoft has divided critics of both games and films, with many noting that while Hollywood insiders consider Sony's move to have killed the film before it's even begun, gamers consider the move to be beneficial to the franchise's future, as in recent years, game adaptations have tended to be of poor quality.<ref name="Vulture" /><br />
