The Latest Assassin's Creed Movie Clip Shows a Dark Conversation

Ahead of the movie's release this week, a new clip from Assassin's Creed has come online. It shows a particularly dark conversation between the characters played by Jeremy Irons and Michael Fassbender. If you want to go into the movie with clear eyes, it might be best to skip this clip.

Assassin's Creed opens in theaters this Wednesday, December 21. In addition to Fassbender and Irons, it stars Marion Cotillard, Brendan Gleeson, and Michael Kenneth Williams. It was directed by Justin Kurzel, who directed Fassbender and Cotillard in Macbeth.

Last week, Ubisoft's Azaïzia Aymar predicted that Assassin's Creed will buck the trend of video game movies being mediocre or worse.

"I really think it's going to be a milestone movie," he said. "It's going to be the very first time that a video game studio creative works with movie creatives altogether to share a vision and give them the tool to express themselves; rather than have an adaptation. There's going to be a 'before and after Assassin's Creed movie' for sure."

In other news, you can now listen to the entire Assassin's Creed soundtrack, which was composed by Kurzel's brother, Jed Kurzel.
