Netflix has apparently hired veteran Hollywood writer Jeb Stuart–who penned the screenplays for Die Hard and The Fugitive–to write the upcoming Assassin’s Creed TV series. This is according to a report from Variety, which credited the information to its sources.
Spokespeople for Netflix and Stuart did not respond to a request for comment by Variety.
Stuart most recently wrote and created the show Vikings: Valhalla, which is coming to Netflix, so he already has an in at the streaming network. Assassin’s Creed will be Stuart’s first video game project. He wrote the 1995 movie Just Cause, though the Sean Connery/Laurence Fishburne film has nothing to do with the games.
