Video game adaptations are very hit and miss at the box office. Some become huge moneymakers and spawn multiple sequels, but more often than not they end up forgettable one-offs. ASSASSIN’S CREED stars the great Michael Fassbender (X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST) and Marion Cotillard (THE DARK KNIGHT RISES), and those two things alone may be all it needs. Based on the popular game, the film is directed by Justin Kurzel (who previously worked with both actors on MACBETH), and is 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. Check out the new poster above and newest trailer below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

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 opens in theaters worldwide on December 21st, 2016
