This is the videogame movie franchise to keep an eye on.

I have high expectations for this franchise.

Michael Fassbender Says Assassin's Creed Uses Practical Effects, Real Sets and Stunts

 

"There's very little green screen in this, which is highly unusual in these films," he said. They took filming to on-location sets in Spain and Malta, alongside London, and that meant stunts that will mirror the amazing feats seen in the videogame franchise from Ubisoft.

 

"We have stunt guys jumping across buildings in Valletta," in Malta, he explained. The signature motion from the games, though, is the "leap of faith," where with an eagle cry, the assassin jumps from a tall building, usually into a barrel of straw. Well, we'll see that, too.

 

"We've got Damian Walters doing a 120-foot leap of faith, without any rope, into a bag," he said. "It's pretty incredible to see."

Good link, interesting article. I'm glad they're staying away from CGI overload. I love the games (especially the first two)... I'm hesitant to get excited for the film, simply because of the track record associated with video game film adaptations. I'll follow Fassbender anywhere though. Fingers Crossed!

That was quick.

Cinemacon 2016: 20th Century Fox peek at Assassin's Creed

 

The coolest thing to come out of Fox's panel was without a doubt the first peek at ASSASSIN'S CREED.

 

Now, I know many of you are skeptical of any videogame adaptation, and rightfully so. But this one has got some serious creative force behind it, most notably with Michael Fassbender (starring and producing) and director Justin Kurzel at the helm. The style, action, and visual acuity to the source material is all on the screen. A look at the film version of the Animus Machine is there, as is a an explanation into how the whole thing works (especially good for those who aren't familiar with the game).

 

It's got the look and feel of the game in every way, from your rooftop leaps, wrist swords, hard-hitting fights, and time-spanning storyline. It looks sharp as hell and I think everyone will be happy when they get a look. This could end up being a big step forward for the genre if it works and I have a very good feeling that it will. ASSASSIN'S CREED hits on December 21st, 2016.

New Images Of Michael Fassbender In Assassin's Creed

 

Omelete, a Brazilian entertainment website, has gotten their hands on two new stills of Michael Fassbender (X-Men: Apocalypse) as both Callum Lynch and his 15th century ancestor, Aguilar, in Justin Kurzel's upcoming video game-to-movie adaptation, Assassin's Creed.

 

 

 

I really am hoping this movie helps establish gaming films as a viable solid reference compared to films like Doom, Max Payne (this one had potential) and the follow-up to Hitman. There is plenty of good material out there to be developed.

time to buy stock in Abstergo....

First trailer released on the Jimmy Kimmel show.

 

 

The soundtrack on the trailer is already being called out as distracting, and someone else created an alternate version with church music instead. Though the title of their version of the trailer is - umm - far from the best choice of words.

 

 

 

 

 

[Bosco685]

I never played the game, but have enjoyed the trailers for them. I didn't realize that jump move actually has a name (Leap of Faith).

[kagenish]

really like the trailer and what they are doing in the movie universe to make it work and not trying to recreat the game. i hated the music choose for the trailer they could have gone with no music at all.

[comicjack]

Trailer looked awesome on the big screen another on the must see list

Video game movies are rarely good, and the odds are that this won't be good either. but darn it, I want to watch it! I enjoyed most of the trailer, I even liked the music!

 

If it goes over 50% on RT, I will watch it!
