Academy Award nominee Scott Frank, whose most recent screenwriting credit is The Wolverine, has revealed that his next big screen scripting assignment is Fox's Assassin's Creed: The Movie.
"I’m rewriting Assassin’s Creed right now, and what I love about it is that I’ve never adapted a video game before and it has its own set of challenges," Frank told Creative Screenwriting Magazine. "Especially in the world of rewrites, I love trying to do something completely different if I can."
British playwright Michael Lesslie wrote the previous draft of Assassin's Creed.
Frank earned an Oscar nomination for his adaptation of Out of Sight. His other screenwriting credits include Dead Again, Get Shorty, Malice, Minority Report, Flight of the Phoenix, The Interpreter, The Lookout, and Marley & Me.
Michael Fassbender is attached to star in and produce Assassin's Creed. The Bourne series' Frank Marshall is also aboard to produce the adaptation of the Ubisoft video game for New Regency.
Assassin's Creed is slated for release June 19, 2015.
