Wow, I love that game and I'm a huge fan of The Resident Evil movie franchise so I could see it working out, as long as they don't try and go The Silent Hill route.

ReplyDeletegreat news Love Michael and have been waiting for Assassins to come to the big screen for ages.
ReplyDeleteGreat casting! And the good news is that ubisoft is keeping a tight leash on the movie. So I don't think we'll get another silent hill or Max Payne :)
