Destiny is in your blood as 20th Century Fox releases the new theatrical trailer (aka trailer 2) for the upcoming movie Assassin’s Creed. View trailer below.
Based on the Ubisoft game franchise, the Assassin’s Creed movie 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 Templar organization in the present day.
I’ve picked up the first game (Assassin’s Creed) and started to play it, but I’m terrible at it. However, I’ve read the overarching storyline and it seems pretty interesting. As I can tell from the trailer, the movie version of Assassin’s Creed falls into a different time period (15th Century Spain) than the games do. So it will be interesting to see how the actually film plays out. Visually, it looks good and so does the cast. However, while I’m excited to see this movie, I think the music they played during the trailer is odd. Much like how the previous trailer was, it simply just doesn’t fit. That’s just bad marketing for the movie….just my opinion.
Assassin’s Creed arrives in theaters on December 21st, 2016
