If you're an Assassin's Creed fan you already know the backstory for the upcoming film. But perhaps it will soothe you to hear of the war between the Assassins and the Templars from the stars themselves: the Assassins want to safeguard the freedom of humanity while the Templars want to control people. They leave out the part where the Templar argue that they're saving humans from their own destructive nature, but "bad guy justification" doesn't always make the cut for promo videos.
Directed by Justin Kurzel and starring Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Ariane Labed, Michael K. Williams, Jeremy Irons, and Brendan Gleeson, Assassin's Creed opens in US theatres on December 21, 2016 before opening in UK cinemas on January 1, 2017.
