ASSASSIN’S CREED Starring Michael Fassbender Gets A Trailer and Poster

New Regency and 20th Century Fox have released the first trailer and poster for the much anticipated (at least by me) Assassin’s Creed, starring Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Brendan Gleeson, and Michael K. Williams. The film is an adaptation of the popular video game series and follows the life of Callum Lynch as he uses technology to access the life of his ancestor, a member of an elite assassin guild during the Spanish Inquisition. The film is directed by Justin Kurzel (Snowtown, Macbeth) and I’m hoping so bad that this one breaks the video game movie curse.

Assassin’s Creed opens in theaters December 21st.

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 opens in theaters worldwide on December 21st, 2016.
