Assassin’s Creed: After the flop of the film, no suite but a TV series

Cinema 24 March, 2017

After the film ‘s failure , Assassin’s Creed will become a television series.

An official budget of $ 125 million, not including the cost of a massive promo (at least 50% of the budget for blockbusters), a box office that barely exceeded 240 million in revenue worldwide, a review of Press more than negative : Assassin’s Creed with Michael Fassbender was certainly not a success in the Hollywood counters.

No one will be surprised to find that since then neither Michael Fassbender nor director Justin Kurzel have spoken of the continuation, supposedly taking place during the Cold War . On the other hand, the life of the franchise beyond the consoles might not be finished since a television series is in development.

It is Azaïzia Aymar, one of the heads of the studio Ubisoft, who evoked this project during an exchange with the fans on Reddit. If he refused to give details, he confirmed the project:

“It’s like the guys movie, we’ll take our time to be sure to offer something we can be proud of, but if you’re wondering if it’s in our plans … YES”

Not sure that these words are reassuring.

Asked about the relative success of the film, Aymar replied:

“The critics in the US were hard, in Europe, Asia and South America, it was much better. But we were focused on the viewers and you guys, and the reactions were good, we learned a lot During this adventure it is certain, and we are happy with the film.I think it would not hurt if you bought all the DVD that said lol ”

He also confirmed that there was currently no plan for a movie sequel, recalling that they were concentrating on the Blu-Ray release. Let’s bet that this little world will watch sales closely, in case Assassin’s Creed knows a crazy and unexpected second life, like a Riddick who could be reborn thanks to the fans.
