Here’s the Assassin’s Creed photo from Entertainment Weekly:
It’s nothing too exciting, but it’s nice to see Labed alongside Fassbender in the movie, and their wardrobe looks great. The hype has slowly been building for the movie with a recent viral site pointing to something happening in March in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Seoul, Madrid, London, Paris, Osaka-Kobe, Shanghai, and Moscow. We’re not sure what will be happening in those cities, but once we find out, we’ll be sure to let you know.
Otherwise, Michael Fassbender wants to reassure video game fans the movie they deserve, even though he never played the game before taking the lead role:
“I hadn’t played it before these guys approached me. I’ve played it since mainly to get an idea of the physicality of the character. We’re striving to find something special. We believe the whole concept around it is special and want to service that the best we can. The fans are really passionate: very specific and they expect accuracy and historical detail. We’re really trying to capitalize and feed on and enjoy the fun element. We’re working hard to make this something special.”
The video game adaptation arrives on December 21st, 2016.
Assassin’s Creed 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 Knights Templar organization in the present day.
