Michael Fassbenderis not only the star ofAssassin’s Creed, he’s also the movie’s producer who acquired the film rights from Ubisoft. For the adaptation, Fassbender brought aboard his director (Justin Kurzel) and co-star (Marion Cotillard) from the gritty adaptation ofMacbeth, in which he held the titular role. As such, Kurzel and I discussed the Shakespearian parallels between the game and the film, such as secret societies and tragedy through bloodlines.

There’s a good reason whyBruce Campbellhas survived all these years and so many other B-movie heartthrobs have bitten the dust. Not only does he have a very distinct style of performance that has driven him beyond theEvil Deadfranchise to be a crucial player inBurn Notice,Bubba Ho-Tep, and FX’sFargo, he’s also genuinely smart and cultured in a refreshingly unpretentious way. He has his own taste and though it may not always come off as refined, it certainly reflects an intimate knowledge of and experience with the entertainment industry and genre filmmaking....

WhenDoctor Strangehits theaters next month, it will be with a fair bit of reinvention from the comic book source material. While director Scott Derrickson and the folks at Marvel Studios have made it clear that they’re staying true to Stephen Strange’s basic arc and the far-out interdimensional magic envisioned by Steve Ditko, they’ve also famously gender and race swapped The Ancient One, given Wong a lot more power, and for now, they’re establishing Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Baron Mordo, not as a mortal enemy to Doctor Strange, but as an ally and a comrade under The Ancient One’s tutelage....
