it’s time to enter the Animus you’re
watching new way the CEO of welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
Assassin’s Creed pacts for this list
we’re taking a look at interesting
trivia regarding the live-action
adaptation of Ubisoft’s hit video game
series number 10 not a superhero movie
superhero landing the assassins in this
franchise might not have superpowers per
se but there is an undeniable superhero
vibe the games typically focus on hooded
vigilantes that leap from rooftops
stealthily sneak up on targets answer
about their own brand of justice it’s
hard not to make the comparison then to
daredevil or the Green Arrow whoever you
fear fear me more director Justin Herzl
wanted to avoid making a superhero movie
however rather the Australian filmmaker
is aiming to explore what it is to be
human we work in the dark
he hopes to accomplish this be a
practical effects and intense park were
based stunt work giving the film a
grounded sense of realism at 6 p.m.
yesterday evening you were executed and
pronounced dead you no longer exist
number 9 Michael Fassbender did most of
his own fights
michael fassbender is no stranger to
action movies most notably starring as
magneto in the x-men franchise as the
leading man in this asin’s Creed the
oscar-nominated actor faced one of his
most physically demanding roles yet
where some performers would have relied
on a stunt double to pick up most of the
slack Fassbender reportedly did 95
percent of his characters line scenes
Fassbender wasn’t the only actor that
carried his own weight though area I’m
Abed plays a female assassin did a
majority of her own stunts as well with
that set some of the stunts were so
insane that a trained professional had
to step in but more on that later we are
assassins
number eight Jeremy Irons as the villain
I believe you’re destined for great
things
that’s if I know from star in the Lion
King to Simon in die hard with a
vengeance there’s a good reason why
Jeremy Irons is frequently typecast as
villains in Assassin’s Creed the English
actor stars as Alan Rickon the devious
CEO of Abstergo industries name is
Kellerman we’ve traced his bloodline
back 500 years so the Assassin’s Creed
part of what makes this casting choice
so interesting is that irons previously
played Rodrigo Borgia in the Showtime
historical drama series The Borgias when
the Pope pledges to banish all suspicion
of simony from the Cardinal that he
keeps his word Rodrigo Borgia was also a
big bad guy in the Assassin’s Creed 2
video game emerging is the Grand Master
of the Knights Templar these two
franchises might be otherwise unrelated
but irons certainly provides a cool
connection I will not forgive failure
from you or your brother
am I understood we will not fail you
Father
number seven Robert Downey jr. was
rumored for a role you’ve been called
The DaVinci of our time what do you say
to that
absolutely ridiculous I don’t pain
Leonardo da Vinci has appeared in a
couple of Assassin’s Creed games
hello Leonardo Madonna Maria back in
2014 rumors started to circulate that
Robert Downey jr. would play the
Renaissance man in this film adaptation
since RDJ knows a thing or two about
playing visionary inventors this sounded
like a match made in heaven 3 to last
the rumor has since fizzled out while
we’re on the subject of Hollywood
a-listers though Oscar winner Alicia
vikander who previously worked alongside
Fassbender in the light between oceans
was also up for the role of Maria but
she decided to star in Jason Bourne
instead there’s a demonstration in front
of the Greek parliament building
I think she’ll use it as cover number
six the Animus redesign a wise decision
the Animus has always played a key role
in the Assassin’s Creed franchise
allowing for our protagonist to relive
the memories of his ancestor this
machine is getting a new look for its
silver screen debut though instead of
sitting down in a chair the players will
be hooked up to the device and lift it
into the air making the experience more
physically demanding for the user
Fassbender says the animus was
redesigned so audiences wouldn’t draw
too many parallels to the matrix this
will feel a little weird people might
not make comparisons to the matrix
anymore but are we the only ones that
thinks the new animist here’s a little
bit of a resemblance to GLaDOS from
Portal you know what my days used to be
like I just tested nobody murdered me or
put me in a professor or fed me to birds
I had a pretty good life number five
15th century Spain welcome to the
Spanish Inquisition over half of
Assassin’s Creed will take place in the
present day where Fassbender plays a
criminal named Callum Lynch in the
film’s regression sequences though
Fassbender will assume the role of
Lynch’s ancestor an assassin named
Aguilar Denair huh these scenes take
place in 15th century Spain during the
Spanish Inquisition train while the
filmmakers originally planned to film
the historical sequences in English it
was eventually decided to have the
actors speak in the Spanish language
this is a change from the video games in
which the Animus utilized a built-in
translator to convert everything into
English
Justin Kurtz –all ultimately felt
however that this would give the film
another layer of exoticness and
authenticity
and family
[Music]
it was number four an original story
this is your second chance the
Assassin’s Creed games have no shortage
of strong storylines and unforgettable
characters that would translate well
into film the truth sought by the
assassins who came before me is still
hidden
this movie will have an original
screenplay though focusing on a brand
new cast of characters the only one
making the leap from the game to the big
screen is Alan Rickett who had a brief
cameo in the original Assassin’s Creed
game Ubisoft and the filmmakers made
this decision in order to expand upon
the franchise’s lore as much as we’d
love to see Desmond Miles or an adult
Ezio Auditore da Firenze in the
live-action movie we’re always down for
something more unique as well
number three a leap of faith normally it
would be a digital character that would
jump off Damien’s the best so we’re
gonna do it for real
as stated before Assassin’s Creed will
have plenty of insane stunts to go
around but one particular scene
literally took things to new heights the
film of course includes the leap of
faith jump which is arguably the most
iconic staple of the Assassin’s Creed
games instead of creating a CGI puppet
the production team turned to British
freerunner damien walters standing in
for Fassbender this stuntman performed a
hundred and twenty five-foot freefall
which lasted approximately three seconds
with an impact speed of 61 miles per
hour this is reportedly the longest
freefall stunt in 35 years it was a
risky move for sure but the filmmakers
were determined to turn it into the most
realistic product possible keep in mind
that he is landing a huge crash pad here
and not a pile of hay
number two a huge budget and run time
God even though I’m a man of God life in
a hand
video game movies aren’t exactly known
for turning huge profits regardless it’s
clear that Ubisoft and 20th Century Fox
have faith in Assassin’s Creed it’s not
only the longest movie based on a video
game ever produced clocking in at
roughly one hundred and forty minutes
but it’s also the most expensive
according to various sources the film
costs somewhere between a hundred and
fifty million and two hundred million to
make as such the film will need to make
a bundle at the box office to become a
financial success if this is the video
game movie that finally gets it right
however Assassin’s Creed just might
stick the landing I’m beginning to like
this number one Michael Fassbender
didn’t know about the games is this
planet
michael fassbender was Ubisoft’s first
choice to play the leading man in their
first cinematic production ironically in
Fassbender had never played any of the
Assassin’s Creed games before I don’t
even know you people why are you doing
this to me
as a matter of fact he didn’t know the
franchise even existed Astin 18 even
though it spawns nine main games eight
novels and numerous comics being a
dedicated actor though Fassbender wanted
to learn more about the source material
and do it justice in order to get into
character he committed to playing the
games
shortly before filming started as far as
we’re concerned that must have been a
pretty fun role to do research for
so do you agree with our list what fun
fact is you excited for Assassin’s Creed
that’s the best bit when you hook off
and go I’m all right yeah for more
