And how kids who play the game are getting interested in history is pretty interesting,” explained Marion Cotillard<br /><br /> The film expands the series’ mythology, taking place during the Spanish Inquisition.<br /><br /> It follows convict Callum Lynch played by Michael Fassbender as he is abducted by a mysterious organisation Abstergo, which transplant him into the body of his 15th century descendant Aguilar de Nerha, a member of the Assassin’s Creed.<br /><br /> “I did not really consider this idea that video games don’t translate well to film. Again, it was that sort of classic ‘ignorance is bliss’ sort of thing. I just knew that this world was so fascinating and sophisticated and had so many elements to it that would lend itself very well to a cinema experience,” concluded Michael Fassbender<br />
