Production Continues with Filming in Malta
By Alex Burns
The ever mysterious 'Assassin's Creed' movie is currently in production and we've got some updates on the project as Head of Content Azaïzia Aymar has revealed some new photographs from the set of the film. The pictures show off some Templar artifacts being kept in display cases, the abstergo logo is present and they tie in nicely with shots of actor Michael Fassbender in costume for the present sections of the movie.
“Those Abstergo guys just love Templars!” Aymar says of the photos before adding a question to get the speculators out of bed “Who is the man on the pommel?” Take a look at the photos below and have a guess yourself.
There's also two shots of the film set in Valletta, Capital of Malta. The images come with some intriguing soundbites from an interview location manager Joseph Formosa Randon had with Location Guide. Production has transformed the city into "15th Century Seville," closing down streets and adding all the suitable time related accoutrements. Randon also details specific locations and what was filmed there "Fort Delimara was for a chase sequence through underground Tunnels and Fort Ricasoli and Fort Manoel provided the back drop to some spectacular set builds."
After Callum Lynch discovers that his ancestor, Aguilar from 15th Century Spain was an Assassin, Callum relives Aguilar's memories to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to confront the Templars—age-old enemies of the Assassins—in the present day.
