20th Century Fox has unleashed seven new photos from their highly-anticipated video game adaptationAssassin’s Creed, which is set to hit theaters December 21. These images give us a closer look atMichael Fassbender’s Callum Lynch, including the character riding on horseback and producing his infamous sleeve daggers, an image which will surely be familiar to fans of the hit video game. We also get a glimpse atMarion Cotillard’s Sophia Rikkin, who is seen watching over Callum as he is strapped to a device that will submerge him underwater.
The Playlistdebuted these images, and they also hint that a new trailer could be just around the corner. The site speculates that the second trailer may be attached to prints of 20th Century Fox’sMiss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children, in theaters September 30. Thefirst trailerarrived in late June, which left many fans and critics underwhelmed, so we’ll have to see what they have in store for us with the second trailer.
Last month, we reported that the production’s death-defyingLeap of Faithstunt set a new world record. StuntmanDamien Walters' free fall from 125 feet was the highest leap in over 35 years. Production wrapped in January, so we aren’t exactly sure when this record-breaking leap took place. Hopefully we’ll get to see more footage of this impressive jump when the new trailer arrives in the near future.
The movie centers onCallum Lynch, played byMichael Fassbender, who discovers he is a descendant of a mysterious secret society, the Assassins. He then gathers the knowledge and skills to take on the oppressive and powerful Templar organization. This is accomplished through a breakthrough technology that unlocks his genetic memories. Lynch experiences the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain, during the Spanish Inquisition.
