With digital trickery
robbing audiences of the unmistakable feeling of seeing on-camera effects, it
is good to see that some directors still prefer to follow the old ways and have
a stunt-double carry out a stunt that in this day and age would have been accomplished
with a digital one.
A new
behind-the-scenes video from Assassin's Creed takes us behind the curtain to
see Michael Fassbender's stunt-double Damien Walters, whom you probably have
seen on YouTube showing off his skills, perform a 125 feet or 38 meters fall that
game fans should recognize as the leap of faith.
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 stars Academy Award nominee Michael Fassbender (X-Men: Days of Future
Past, 12 Years a Slave) and Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard (The Dark
Knight Rises, La Vie en Rose). The film is directed by Justin Kurzel (Snowtown,
Macbeth); 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. Assassin's Creed opens in theaters
worldwide on December 21st, 2016.
