            Hollywood has had a serious issue with developing and producing good movies based on video games. Many thought that maybe Warcraft would be the film to break the streak but it wasn’t the case. Ratchet and Clank barely got any attention when it was released so we move now to Assassin’s Creed in which we have a second trailer for you today.

            Though this upcoming video game adaptation sure looks to be great with a fantastic cast headed by Michael Fassbender and a capable director in Justin Kurzel who previously directed Macbeth, it still faces the main issue. Video game movies just have not worked. Hopefully, this will be a different story. The film follows Callum Lynch who through a new revolutionary technology, experiences adventures as his ancestor, Aguilar in 15^th Century Spain. He has been lured by a secret society of assassins and develops knowledge and skills to take down the Templar organization in the present day.

            Assassin’s Creed will be released in theaters on December 21^st. In addition to Fassbender, the film also stars Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Michael K. Williams, Brendan Gleeson and Ariane Labed. Check out the new trailer below!
