Assassin’s Creed

-

Prepare for a visionary new take on the action-adventure genre. Assassin’s Creed is a worlds-spanning tale of one man who finds himself at the center of an ancient battle between two powerful sects— only by harnessing the memories of his ancestor, which are contained within his own DNA, can he end the conflict and claim his own redemption.

Marked by tragedy at an early age, Cal Lynch (Michael Fassbender) is a convict facing capital punishment when he gains an unexpected second chance at life thanks to the mysterious workings of Abstergo Industries. Through a revolution­ary technology that unlocks the genetic memories contained in his DNA, Cal is sent back across the centuries to 15th Century Spain. There, he lives out the experience­s of his distant relative, Aguilar de Nerha, a member of a secret society known as the Assassins who fight to protect free will from the powerhungr­y the Templar Order.

Transforme­d by the past, Cal begins to gain the knowledge and physical skills necessary to topple the oppressive Templar organizati­on in present day.

Based on the blockbuste­r video game series from Ubisoft, 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, Mac- beth); produced by New Regency, Ubisoft Motion Pictures, DMC Film, and Kennedy/Marshall Company; 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.
