New Assassin’s Creed Images & Stunt Video Featurette

New images and video for Assassin’s Creed have been released.

The video is a featurette showing off one of the highest free falls peformed by a stunt man in the last 35 years.

The images feature Michael Fassbender, the gauntlets and costume for the character.

It’s also been revealed the movie will feature characters from the Assassin’s Creed video games.

“Although we’re designing the weapons ourselves,” production armorer Tim Wildgoose told EW.com, “there are certain things you have to stick to — the way the wrist blades work. In that sense, we were going the Ubisoft reference as a design guide. At the same time, there are assassins from the games in the film as well. In some case, we could directly copy the Ubisoft weapons onto their characters.

“There’s basically a few assassins taken straight from the games, who we get to see in the films,” Wildgoose said. “We actually get to use some of the real game weapons in there. They’re not main characters from the games, but they’re very famous characters that the fans will probably enjoy.”

“Assassin’s Creed” has a December 21, 2016 release date directed by Justin Kurzel.
