Take a leap of faith with new Assassin’s Creed behind-the-scenes featurette

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

Movies based on video games haven't always been the most succesful and it's unfortunate that the recent release of WARCRAFT hasn't done anything to alter that perception. With the release of Justin Kurzel's ASSASSIN'S CREED still on the horizon, there's hope that it could actually turn out to be the first great video game movie. Gathering up a cast which includes Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Brendan Gleeson, Michael K. Williams, and Ariane Labed is certainly a good step in that direction. A new ASSASSIN'S CREED featurette has been released which goes behind-the-scenes of the upcoming film and offers up a few glimpses of those (hopefully) heart-pounding action sequences.

An official synopsis for ASSASSIN'S CREED:

Through a revolutionary technology that unlocks his genetic memories, Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) experiences the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. Callum discovers he is descended from a mysterious secret society, the Assassins, and amasses incredible knowledge and skills to take on the oppressive and powerful Templar organization in the present day.

ASSASSIN'S CREED is set for a December 21, 2016 release.
