Michael Fassbender in the Assassin’s Creed movie
Michael Fassbender has been talking up his upcoming Assassin’s Creed movie, and has stated that the video game adaptation has a lot to do with The Matrix series of movies. The film, which is directed by Macbeth helmer Justin Kurzel, is now in post-production after a lengthy shoot in Malta.
Speaking with Empire magazine in the UK, the Oscar nominated actor said: “I’ve always thought about The Matrix when we’ve approached this.”
“This idea of DNA memory elevates it from a basic fantasy genre [piece], because you have something an audience can actually believe in. Then the journey becomes so much more elevated, because you’re on board in a different way”.
The film already sounds epic, and it sounds like they’re going practical rather than CGI for the upcoming film.
“There’s very little green screen in this, which is highly unusual in these films”, he revealed. “We have stunt guys jumping across buildings in Valletta. We’ve got Damian Walters doing a 120-foot leap of faith, without any rope, into a bag, so it’s pretty incredible to see”.
Assassin’s Creed opens on December 21st.
