The ‘Assassin’s Creed’ Movie Trailer is Here!

It’s no secret that the Geekscape Games Podcast crew is just a bit critical of UbiSoft, and by ‘just a bit’ I mean ‘extremely’. While their business decisions in the past few years have made us collectively scratch our heads in bewilderment, today is one of those rare occasions in which we are thoroughly overjoyed by them.

Nearly ten years after its debut on XBOX 360 and PS3, the Assassin’s Creed franchise is taking the next step (or leap of faith) onto the big screen–and judging from the trailer which made its worldwide debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live–it looks absolutely fantastic!

The film features an original story as well as a brand new assassin by the name of Callum Lynch/Aguilar played by Michael Fastbender (X-Men: Age of Apocalypse). In addition, the film will star Jeremy Irons (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), Brendan Gleeson (Edge of Tomorrow), and Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises).

Fans will get to see the live-action adaptation of the popular game franchise later this year on December 21.

What say you, Geekscapists? Does the trailer underwhelm, meet , or exceed your expectations? You can bet the Geekscape Games Podcast crew will have plenty to say about the trailer, and we would love to share your thoughts so sound off in the comment section below!
