Audiences might think they know what to expect from the movie version of Assassin’s Creed, the adaptation of the popular video game franchise centering around the centuries-long struggle between forces called the Assassins and the Templars. According to star Michael Fassbender, however, the reality might bring something else entirely.
“I’ve always thought about The Matrix when we’ve approached this,” Fessbender told Empire, pointing to the franchise’s notion that descendants of the Assassins can access "ancestral memory” to give them skills and knowledge they otherwise wouldn’t possess. “This idea of DNA memory elevates it from a basic fantasy genre [piece], because you have something an audience can actually believe in. Then the journey becomes so much more elevated, because you’re on board in a different way.”
That doesn’t mean that Assassin’s Creed will resemble The Matrix in other ways, however. Don’t go looking for next generation “bullet time” in this movie, apparently.
