A promotional video for Assassin’s Creed has been filmed, according to Diario de Sevilla. Here’s a translation of the full article:
Seville is a cinema, and this is demonstrated by the latest shootings in the city. Those who walked yesterday through the center met with a series of people dressed in black and throwing themselves from a scaffolding tower lined with cloth on the side of the Plaza de Pilatos that borders the Medinaceli palace or doing acrobatics on the roof of the Archive Of India. It was the filming of the promotion of the film Assassin’s Creed that counts, in part, with scenes of the city.
The delegate of Habitat and Tourism, Antonio Muñoz, stressed that part of the increase in tourism in Seville is due in part to the promotion of the city as a film set of different audiovisual productions. “In this case, the film Assassin’s Creed decided to shoot some sequences in Seville.To facilitate filming, the City Council has worked with the Andalusia Film Commission to help the production as much as possible, with journalists and bloggers coming from Europe, USA and other Hispanic American countries to cover the promotion of the film. “
Antonio Muñoz stressed the importance of the growing tendency of producers to use Seville as a set of films, documentaries or advertisements. “Not long ago there were five shootings in the center of Seville. The city is growing in family tourism, but also in congresses and other segments such as the cinema.”
Igor Tonino, of the company Mobes, leader in locations in Spain, Italy and Portugal, explained that both the City Council and the Andalusia Film Commission have greatly facilitated their work.
“We are in Seville from the end of August, and from Seville several sites were located not only in the city but in Andalusia.” The film has a budget between 150 and 200 million euros and features actors Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard and Jeremy Irons. In addition they are the Spanish actors Javier Gutiérrez and Hovik Keuchkerian (of Armenian origin).
This is the bet of 20th Century Fox for this Christmas. “The technical team, without the guests, we are about 70 people. We have been here for a week and we fill two hotels, restaurants, and all our expenses are in the city,” says Tonino.
In fact, Igor Tonino commented that among his colleagues in London and USA of 20th Century Fox “the positive reviews of all agreed on the great welcome we had in the city, very close to everyone and at home, and then has a great advantage , the weather”.
The US premiere of Assassin’s Creed is scheduled for December 21 and in Spain, it will probably be the 23rd, although these dates depend on the distributors.
