Netflix Officially Greenlights Live-Action 'Assassin's Creed' Series
Summary Netflixhas officially greenlit a live-action adaptation ofUbisoft'sAssassin's Creedfranchise afterfive long years. 'Assassin's Creedis a high-octane thriller centered on the secret war between two shadowy factions — one set on determining mankind's future through control and manipulation, while the other fights to preserve free will,' the logline reads. 'The series follows its characters across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity's destiny.' A cast list is yet to be announced. Emmy nominees Roberto Patino and David Wiener will serve as creators, showrunners and executive producers for the forthcoming show. 'We've been fans ofAssassin's Creedsince its release in 2007. Every day we work on this show, we come away excited and humbled by the possibilities thatAssassin's Creedopens to us,' the two said in a joint statement. 'Beneath the scope, the spectacle, the parkour and the thrills is a baseline for the most essential kind of human story — about people searching for purpose, struggling with questions of identity and destiny and faith. It is about power and violence and sex and greed and vengeance. 'But more than anything, this is a show about the value of human connection, across cultures, across time,' they continue. 'And it's about what we stand to lose as a species, when those connections break. We've got an amazing team behind us with the folks at Ubisoft and our champions at Netflix, and we're committed to creating something undeniable for fans all over the planet.' 'When we first announced our partnership with Ubisoft in 2020, we set out with an ambitious goal to bring the rich, expansive world ofAssassin's Creedto life in bold new ways,' added Peter Friedlander, Netflix's Vice President, Scripted Series. 'Now, after years of dedicated collaboration, it's inspiring to see just how far that vision has come. Guided by the deft hands of Roberto Patino and David Wiener, the team has carefully crafted an epic adventure that both honors the legacy of theAssassin's Creedfranchise and invites longtime fans and newcomers alike to experience the thrill of the Brotherhood as never before.' Gerard Guillemot, Margaret Boykin, Austin Dill for Ubisoft Film & Television and Matt O'Toole will also executive produce. 'We are so excited to work alongside Roberto, David, and our Netflix partners to bring this beloved franchise to series,' stated Boykin, executive producer and head of content at Ubisoft Film & Television.

Early 'Superman' Reviews Turn Heads as Rotten Tomatoes Score Is Revealed
Although Superman doesn't hit theaters in wide release until Friday, July 11, those who bought their tickets through a special Amazon promotion will get to see the movie today, on Tuesday, July 8. And, for movie critics who have already seen the movie, tiny social media reviews have already indicated that this take on Superman just might be a crowd-pleaser. As reported by Variety, a handful of critics have sounded off on social media about their feelings about the new Superman reboot. "Bold yet faithful," wrote Bryan Sudfiel. Meanwhile, critic Brandon Davis said that the romantic chemistry between David Corenswet's Superman and Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane "is off the charts" in the movie. And now, the official Rotten Tomatoes score for the 2025 Superman has been revealed. According to Rotten Tomatoes, Superman has a high score of 90 percent right now. Historically, reviews of various Superman movies are all over the place. While 2013's Man of Steel holds a 57 percent score on RT from critics, it has a 75 percent score from general audiences. 2006's Superman Returns is basically the opposite; the critical score is 73 percent, and the audience score is 60. Only when we go further back in time to the 1978 classic, starring Christopher Reeve, does the audience perception and the critical perception of a Superman movie start to align. So yes, the critical score for Superman is a solid 90 percent. But the audience score won't be clear well into the weekend. In short, with this Superman movie, like several Superman movies before it, we should expect there to be some kind of general disagreement about its basic quality. There's a good chance the film will make a ton of money at the box office. Will everyone love it?
