First Look At Michael Fassbender In ASSASSIN'S CREED
It appears the long-gestating Assassin's Creed video game movie is finally picking up steam with filming about to start and the first official image now being released featuring Michael Fassbender.
After being in development for many years due to minor setbacks, the Assassin's Creed movie is finally moving forward and is all set to commence principal photography on Monday, August 31. And now Yahoo has even released our first look at the big-screen video game adaptation which features leading man Michael Fassbender as Callum Lynch, an original character. Instead of retelling stories from the games, the film will apparently bring all new characters to that world, per Yahoo:
Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) discovers he is a descendant of the secret Assassins society through unlocked genetic memories that allow him to relive the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. After gaining incredible knowledge and skills he’s poised to take on the oppressive Knights Templar in the present day.
Directed by Justin Kurzel, Assassin's Creed stars Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Ariane Labed, and Michael Kenneth Williams, and is scheduled to be released on December 21, 2016.
