Two New Screenwriters Joined Assassin's Creed Big Screen Adaptation

The last time we heard a peep out of the Assassin's Creed adaptation was in January of last year when 20th Century Fox was reportedly eyeing Safe House director Daniel Espinosa to helm the big budget adaptation starring Michael Fassbender, who is also one of the producers.

Now Deadline is reporting that screenwriters Bill Collage and Adam Cooper, whom recently worked on Ridley Scott's upcoming biblical epic Exodus: Gods and Kings will rewrite Michael Lesslie's screenplay.

Assassin's Creed follows “bartender who is captured by a secret corporation with ties to the Knights Templar, and learns his ancestors were trained assassins. He's sent back in time to retrieve historical artifacts.”

Assassin's Creed will open on August 7th, 2015 so we should start hearing official confirmations about cast, director, etc... sooner rather than later.
