Assassin's Creed Is "Something Special" Says Michael Fassbender


Movies based on video games have been predominately bad, with maybe one or two barely escaping with a so bad it's good sticker on it, but those are drops in an ocean of painful and dull experiences. But there is hope!

Michael Fassbender recently sat down with The Wall Street Journal to talk about his portrayal of Steve Jobs in Danny Boyle's movie of the same name with a script by Aaron Sorkin, his second Oscar nomination, and his first movie based on a video game, which he not only stars in but also produces.

"It was great," Fassbender said of working on Assassin's Creed. "It was a huge learning experience. To be a producer on it as well was very educational. I think we’ve got something special. I think we’ve done something original in this genre." 

In the movie, Fassbender plays Callum Lynch, who the actor describes as being an outsider, who has "been institutionalized from his early teens. He’s a little bit of a lost soul of sorts. He starts to identify [his] lineage and where he comes from in a way."

Directed by Justin Kurzel, whom Fassbender worked with in Macbeth, Assassin's Creed also stars Jeremy Irons, Marion Cotillard, Brendan Gleeson, Michael K. Williams, and Ariane Labed.

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 on December 21.
