Despite her busy schedule as a climate change activist, French actress Marion Cotillard is balancing her time well that she still gets to play different roles in films, one of the latest is "Assassin's Creed". More information about the said film is expected at the ongoing Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2015.

Marion Cotillard told The Wall Street Journal that she feels lucky that she is able to go from a Shakespeare play-adapted movie (referring to Macbeth) to Ubisoft's videogame adaptation "Assassin's Creed". Cotillard is ready to start filming the said movie in September together with Michael Fassbender. The two actors are also lead stars in "Macbeth". Cotillard said that when she was a kid, as a big fan of versatile actor Peter Sellers, she always wanted to jump from different worlds.

Cotillard is still active when it comes to climate change issues personally engaging in demonstrations herself. The 39-year old actress once climbed into a cage to call out for the release of 30 Greenpeace activists in 2013. Her cause for environmental protection does not get in the way of her busy career that she is even into influencing the government into making a difference.

Meanwhile, "Assassin's Creed" is also making a big presence in the E3 at Los Angeles, California. iSchool Guide says that more developments on the movie could be announced by Ubisoft in the said event. Ubisoft, the game developer, is one of the exhibitors in the expo.

Ubisoft Motion Pictures is partnering with 20th Century Fox in the live-action movie. Blastr reports that Fassbender's real life girlfriend Alicia Vikander will be also in the movie.

"Assassin's Creed" is set for a play date on December 21,  2016. Fans will have to look forward if another Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard team up will be as good as previous positive reviews of the upcoming "Macbeth".
