Marion says VERY good things about Assassin's Creed in Madame Figaro
Marion discussed the film in the article called “Reine Marion” on September issue of Madame Figaro magazine:
MADAME FIGARO: 2016, what a year ! You’ve done film after film…
MARION COTILLARD: I’ve done a lot of films. This rhythm has to be an exception to the rule. For a year I’ve been submerged in the lives of others. A lot of things were irresistible. I loved the script of Assassin’s Creed. But what made me decide to participate in that film was the fact that it wasn’t a studio film. The director, Justin Kurzel, has a vision and a point of view about the story: this diving into violence and how to fight it. It’s one of the best directors of actors out there. After Macbeth, I really wanted to work with him again.

What actually amazed me in this is that she had said the exact same things about Chris Nolan and his Inception/The Dark Knight Rises! "Irresistible", "not a studio film/director", "director's vision", "one of the best directors for actors", "wanted to work with him again". This is definetely a good sign! And I'm very, very glad that she enjoyed her experience making this film.
Nolan, I love you forever!
