VIDEO: Fassbender behind the scenes on Assassin's Creed

Michael Fassbender is the lead in the first ever Assassin's Creed film and this new behind the scenes video explains a little of what's going on in the time travelling sci-fi blockbuster.

The scale of the production certainly looks huge and director Justin Kurzel (Animal Kingdom, Macbeth) has acres of directing talent. It just remains to be seen if he can keep his head in the mire of massive studio filmmaking, with the added difficulty of translating a major game franchise to the big screen.

In front of the camera we're also seeing Marion Cotillard and the marvellous Jeremy Irons, as well as our first glimpse of Irish fella Brendan Gleeson who will be playing Fassbenders father in the film. We're not sure about the resemblance but at least they're keeping it Irish!

Assassin's Creed is in cinemas in December, 2016.
