New ASSASSIN'S CREED Movie Footage Featured in E3 Promo Video
During their press briefing at E3, Ubisoft showed off a behind-the-scenes video for the highly anticipated Assassin's Creed film. This thing is not only loaded with cool footage of Michael Fassbender and some of the stunt people pulling off some crazy awesomeness.
I love that there are going to be some insane real life stunts in this movie and that it's not going to be loaded with CG fakery. The video also features a good amount of new footage from the film and some of the cast and crew talking about the movie.
I was a little disappointed when I heard that the majority of the movie would take place in the present and not the past, but there's a talented team behind the development of the film, and I'm still excited to see what they do with the franchise.
Justin Kurrzel (Macbeth) is directing the film, and Fassbender leads the cast which also includes Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception), Michael K. Williams (The Wire), Jeremy Irons (Batman v Superman) and Brendan Gleeson (Edge of Tomorrow).
Based on the Ubisoft game franchise, the Assassin’s Creed movie follows a character by the name of Callum Lynch who, through a revolutionary technology that unlocks his genetic memories, is able to experience 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 to be released on December 21st, 2016.
