He may not have struck box office gold with Assassin's Creed, but that doesn't appear to have affected director Justin Kurzel's ambitions. He's headed back into drama for a script called Ruin that has several studios interested.
Ryan and Matt Firpo have written the screenplay as a spec and it's generating plenty of heat. The story follows a former Nazi captain who anonymously travels the ruins of post-World War II Germany and seeks to atone for his crimes by hunting down the members of the SS Death Squad that once worked under him.
Sounds like something Kurzel's previous collaborator Michael Fassbender could do – he's already had Nazi-hunting experience from Inglourious Basterds and his time as X-Men's Magneto. But casting decisions are a ways off yet, as first this script has to find a home.
