Assassin's Creed - Movie Trailer

He isn't being sincere?

It must feel really great to see a franchise you're a huge part of being adapted so faithfully into another medium.

Yeah I drafted a similar response, but didn't actually hit submit. I didn't read his tweet as anything but sincere. Weird gif reaction.
 
Looking...good! Kanye feels out of place tho. I wonder if they'll work in some of the actual mission objectives into film like pickpockets, eavesdropping, etc. And that leap of faith looks sweet.
 
-Be spanish
-Years waiting for an Assassins Creed game starring on the Spanish inquisition
-It's the movie

God fucking dammit.

That's actually really cool to see.

Considering the guy couldn't even play ACIII and the rest, that must mean something to him to see the trailer and how well everything looks.
 
...I have a sneaking suspicion here that the plot of a rehash and/or condensing of Desmond's plot.

Abstergo kidnap a man (in this case, a man about to be executed - could always be false charges though) and put him inside the animus to gleam info from his ancestor that is going to be of some use to them. Given the emphasis on him learning physical skills, I'd wager that there's something they want him to do - probably involving a precursor artefact or location - and they figure the best result is to have him learn exactly how his ancestor did all those hundreds of years ago, and repeat that today. That way you get the whole beat of Abstergo being evil, the mechanics of the animus, and the whole precursor backstory for a filmgoing audience who may know none of it.
 
I just realized that Assassins Creed is the matrix. Basically.

Trailer looks pretty cool and I think the song choice was a good one.
 
I think it looks better then we all thought it was going to look like, might not be a super super blockbuster but it looks good.
 
I agree at points it didn't feel right tonally. I think something more subdued would be better.

Yeah have to say I'm with you, for my version I actually first started out with Iron, too, but felt that it just didn't fit the often quick cuts of the trailer. Then went to Run Boy Run, but didn't like the lyrics clashing with what you see and hear in the trailer, so I went with the instrumental. Just in case some of you guys haven't seen it yet, hope it's OK to link it again: Assassin's Creed Trailer - Run Boy Run Recut

Okay. Now this is pretty good.
 
I really like that poster. Anyway, I liked the trailer more than I thought I would. I could do without the robot arm thing.

Also, I'm one of those people that actually like the out of place music in movie trailers stick.
 
Looks worse than I expected. I actually had some hopes for this, but going by the trailer the only good thing seems to be the great cast. The song selection was terrible and seems just a typical by the numbers action without any substance. Hopefully the actual movie will be better than the trailer suggests. Well trailers often are a bad indication of the actual film so I don't worry about it too much. I'm still looking forward to this and mainly because of Fassbender and Cotillard.

What kind of action would you expecting from a series that's about parkour rooftop chases and flashy hand-to-hand?
 
I really can't stand when they inject hip hop or R&B or whatever this genre is calling itself now into period pieces. It is so fucking out of place. The Great Gatsby had the same shit, people complained and they do it again. It really takes me out of the movie.

I have yet to see a videogame based movie that is any good in my entire life so I am not hopeful for this one at all sadly and the out of place music seems like a poor start.

This is really cool edit too and nice choice about only instrumental version.
