1. Assassin's Creed

According to Variety back in 2011, Ubisoft was rumoured to be in the final stages of a deal to turn the open world adventure game into a film and since then the French games publisher has created its own film studios Ubisoft Pictures to make it happen. Working directly with a distributor to make sure they don’t lose creative control and the film doesn't end up panned like most of video game adaptations, Prometheus actor Michael Fassbender is in line to play the lead role of Altaïr and has had previous video game experience having done voice acting work for Fable III back in 2010.

Release date: TBA

T3 rounds up ten video games set to be made into Hollywood movies that could be heading to a cinema near you...

Street Fighter, Double Dragon, all the Mortal Kombat films, it's fair to say that movie adaptations of video games don't exactly have the best track record. Hollywood has often struggled to do the epic storylines, characters and environments justice when they've brought the action to life on the big screen, but perhaps there is still hope that someone will get it right.

From the films 'in production' to the directors and screenwriters passing around the scripts, we've picked out ten exciting video game to movie flicks that still hope to make it into your local Odeon.
