Production on the Assassin's Creed movie has begun, and we've got our first image from the set. Well, it's more of a teaser than anything, but we'll take it.
Azaïzia Aymar, head of content for the franchise at Ubisoft, tweeted a photo from the set yesterday — a wall with the distinctive Abstergo Industries logo. While there's not much else, Aymar did call walking the set "an amazing experience."
