Despite writing about the series and some of its offshoots (from MEGA Bloks to prop replicas) from time to time, I have never played one of Ubisoft’s ASSASSIN’s CREED games. That may have to change soon as the long-awaited first trailer for 20th Century Fox’s big-screen adaptation has arrived, and my interest is beyond piqued – right down to the Kanye West soundtrack. Check it out below and let me know what you think…
About the Film: 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 stars Academy Award nominee Michael Fassbender (X-Men: Days of Future Past, 12 Years a Slave) and Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises, La Vie en Rose). The film is directed by Justin Kurzel (Snowtown, Macbeth); produced by New Regency, Ubisoft Motion Pictures, DMC Films and Kennedy/Marshall; co-financed by RatPac Entertainment and Alpha Pictures; and distributed by 20th Century Fox.
ASSASSIN’S CREED is in theaters on December 21, 2016.
