ASSASSIN’S CREED Starring Michael Fassbender Gets a New Trailer and Poster

The Assassin’s Creed movie is about to be upon us December 21st and today 20th Century Fox released a new trailer and poster for the film. Adapted from the hit series of games, Assassin’s Creed stars Michael Fassbender as a prisoner who is recruited for a project to use a machine called the animus that will allow him to access the memories of his distant relative, an assassin who lived during the Spanish Inquisition.

As a gamer, I really want this one to be good and although I’m not really into the marketing for the film, I’m hoping Justin Kurzel is about to break the video game movie curse. The film also stars Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Brendan Gleeson, Charlotte Rampling, Michael K. Willaims, and Khalid Abdalla.

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.
