Actor Michael Fassbender says he was not aware of the supposed curse surrounding movies based on video games before doing "Assasin's Creed".
The Hollywood actor stars alongside Marion Cotillard in the new movie, which is based on the video-game series and actor has admitted to being completely oblivious to the wretched record of cross-over films, reported Digital Spy.
"I had no idea there was a curse until people like you told me. By then I was already involved so there was nothing I could do," the 39-year-old actor said.
Fassbender said he would actually feel under more pressure if previous cross-over movies had been critical and commercial successes.
"It would be worse if all the previous adaptations had been successful and this one wasn't.
"People need a story and it's a story that no-one's made a good movie out of a video game. All of us were fairly ignorant to all that so we were naively happy to plod along.
