* SoundtrackDissonance: The first trailer uses Music/KayneWest's "I Am a God," which has little to do with the plot besides the use of the word "God."

I feel like this might be too negative. Obviously it could be worse, but still.

* ContinuitySnarl: Averted. This film takes place in the same universe as the games and takes pains to acknowledge the larger mythology while not causing plot issues. Also, Ubisoft liked the film's production design so much they decided to try and incorporate some, especially the redesigned Animus, into future ''Assassin's Creed'' games.

* AdaptationDeviation: The film's version of the Animus is an indoor crane that hooks into Callum from behind, allowing him to act out the motions of Aguilar, instead of a chair or bed like in the games.

According to WordOfGod, they did not want to have Callum sit or lie down throughout his time in the Animus so the new Animus allows him to mimic the motions of Aguilar.

Interestingly enough, the movie will not be an AlternateContinuity adaption like most video game movies, but will take place in the same universe as the game franchise.

Added DiffLines:

''Assassin's Creed'' is an upcoming film based upon the ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' franchise.

Callum Lynch (Creator/MichaelFassbender) is a death row inmate who, after his execution, finds himself in the clutches of Abstergo. Legally dead and with no one to miss him, Callum is forced to relive the memories of his ancestor, Aguilar de Nertha, an Assassin during the UsefulNotes/SpanishInquisition.

A trailer for the film can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfJVoF5ko1Y here]].

!! Tropes:

* BigBad: Thus far the main villain in the historical portion appears to be Tomás de Torquemada.
* MythologyGag:
** Much like Desmond in the [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI original]] ''Assassin's Creed'', Lynch has been kidnapped by Abstergo and forced to relive his ancestor's genetic memories.
** Callum's prison uniform happens to be white, the traditional color for Assassins.
* ThemeNaming: In keeping with previous protagonists with bird-themed names, Callum means "dove" in Scottish and Irish Gaelic.
