‘Assassin’s Creed’ Trailer: Michael Fassbender Runs, Jumps, and Kills - The Hottest
20th Century Fox has released the first Assassin’s Creed movie trailer online. Directed by Justin Kurzel (Macbeth), the film stars Michael Fassbender as death row inmate Callum Lynch, who is whisked away to Abstergo and, through a revolutionary technology, enabled to experience the memories of his ancestor Aguilar in 15th Century Spain.
This is almost an excellent trailer. They spend a bit too long on the setup, but once they get to Spain, everything looks impeccable. We saw with Macbeth just how gorgeous Kurzel’s take on combat can be, and Assassin’s Creed looks to raise that bar with killer cinematography, again by Adam Arkapaw (the guy who’s also behind that iconic one-er in True Detective Season 1), and the rapid-fire/parkour hand-to-hand combat that I adore from the games. However, that music. I don’t know why anybody thought it was a good idea to set the first Assassin’s Creed trailer to Kanye, but it wasn’t. Full stop. It’s incongruous, and not in a fun way, in a jarring way. Fortunately, the footage doesn’t give the sense that’s the vibe they’re going for in the film. Everything else looks pretty well on point, and I’m definitely on the way to thinking Assassin’s Creed could be the first great video game movie.
