The '''''Assassin's Creed'' film''' is a proposed, feature-length motion picture being developed by [[Ubisoft]] and [[Wikipedia:Sony Pictures Entertainment|Sony Pictures Entertainment]] and is based on the award-winning games of the [[Assassin's Creed Series]].<ref name="Controversy">''[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/11/06/assassin-s-creed-film-sparks-hollywood-controversy.aspx Assassin’s Creed Film Sparks Hollywood Controversy]''</ref>
Thd 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="Controversy" /> One 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 Sony gave up means, effectively, that Assassin’s Creed will never – and I mean never – get made."<ref name="NYMag">''[http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/11/assassins_creed_movie_sony_ubi.html NYMag - Assassin's Creed movie]''</ref>
The level of control being afforded to Ubisoft has divided critics of both games and films, with many noting that whilst 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.
