Assassin’s Creed movie (nearly) confirmed?

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise is a highly lucrative one spawning many games, merchandise and now if reports are to be believed, a movie. Movies based on games isn’t a new phenomenon but most of the time they tend to suck which is why people don’t really get excited at the thought of another movie based on their favourite game.

Obviously Sony pictures look at things a bit differently as they’ve been gunning real hard to procure the rights for the movie. And if Fusible is to be believed, they may just have won the bidding war as they registered a bunch of domain names earlier on in the week that go something like this:
