'Assassin's Creed' Movie Set Photos Emerge; Filming Location Details Revealed

Azaïzia Aymar, Ubisoft's head of content, recently revealed set photos from the "Assassin's Creed" movie.

Aymar took to his Twitter and posted images of a pair of Templar swords.

Here's another one showing the blade's details.

Joseph Formosa Randon, "Assassin's Creed" movie's location manager updates on the film's production.

"[Of] the entire Malta shoot...by far the most complex [location] were the various areas within Valletta," Randon revealed in an interview with The Location Guide. "I don't know if you know Malta, but Valletta is the capital, very busy with businesses, lots of residents, narrow streets, limited parking, all the usual fun stuff. We more or less took over, closing main streets for a couple of weeks, and transformed it all into 15th Century Seville."

The plot follows character Desmond Miles, an ordinary bartender who is a descendant of prominent assassin's from the Knights Templar period. Though raised as an assassin, he abandons his family to lead a normal life. He is then captured by Abestergo Industries, a modern-day Knights Templar, and forced to go back to his "ancestral memories" and alter history.

The cast includes Michael Fassbender (X-Men: Days of Future Past), Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises), Michael K. Williams (Boardwalk Empire), Brendan Gleeson (Edge of Tomorrow) and French actress Ariane Labed (Fidelio: Alice's Journey).

The movie is directed by Justin Kurzel (Macbeth) from a screenplay by Bill Collage and Adam Cooper.

Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed" movie releases in theaters on Dec. 21, 2016.
