When Assassin's Creed hits theaters this winter, prepare to witness one of the highest free falls ever captured on film as well as one of the highest free falls performed by a stuntman in nearly 35 years!

The production team behind the upcoming live-action adaptation of the popular video game series has pulled off one of the coolest stunts in recent memory with Damien Walters, stunt double for Michael Fassbender (X-Men: Apocalypse) as he free falls approximately 125 feet just like an assassin straight out of the game. The scene in question takes place when Fassbender's character, Aguilar, is cornered and has to make a daredevilish escape. Check out this new featurette detailing the stunt below:

Through a revolutionary technology that unlocks his genetic memories, Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) experiences the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. Callum discovers he is descended from a mysterious secret society, the Assassins, and amasses incredible knowledge and skills to take on the oppressive and powerful Templar organization in the present day.

Assassin's Creed features:
Director: Justin Kurzel
Michael Fassbender as Callum Lynch/Aguilar de Nerha
Marion Cotillard as Sophia Rikkin
Jeremy Irons as Alan Rikkin
Brendan Gleeson as Callum Lynch's father
Michael K. Williams as Moussa/Baptiste
Ariane Labed as Maria
Matias Varela as Emir/Yusuf
Denis Ménochet as the head of Abstergo security

Assassin's Creed hits theaters December 21

High hopes for this movie... I know nothing about the games but looks really cool.

Rothwilder - 8/16/2016, 6:56 AM

Stop trying to make video games happen.

I LOVE assassins creed.

Really want this movie to do well, assassin creeds lore is so [frick]in neat it would be great for a movie.

That being said, I [frick]ing hate that trailer, and not because of the music.

I think it's because they simply cannot recreate the speed and agility you have in the game, and I've spent hundreds of hours staring at these assassins jumping and sprinting across rooftops.

So when I see the trailer, my brain goes, "this is wrong, why are they moving so slow" without me being able to help it.

Maybe it'll get better in a theater instead of a trailer idk.

I have so much faith that this movie will be the first great videogame movie ever... btu then again, I've been horribly disappointed for thinking the same about DCEU's 3 movies.

Pssh...that stunt guy probably had a safety net. This chick didn't.

McGee - 8/16/2016, 7:32 AM

I'm sorry. I forgot it has to be video game related.

Deonox - 8/16/2016, 7:35 AM

Damien Walters is the Stunt Double!?? I love this guys parkour videos on youtube. Glad to see him getting such good work. This guy is one of the most skilled free runners I've ever seen
