Watch This: Stuntman 'Leap of Faith' Featurette for 'Assassin's Creed'

Fox has released an impressive behind-the-scenes featurette for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed movie, which opens in theaters in December. Dubbed the “Leap of Faith”, the video focuses on stuntman Damien Walters’ free fall jump – which was filmed on camera. Leaping from a height of 125 feet, it’s one of the highest stuntman free falls in over 35 years. Walters is the stunt double for Michael Fassbender in the film, playing Aguilar, a Master Assassin sent back in time to unlock the secrets of his ancestry. You’ve seen the leap they filmed in the trailer – jumping off of the top of one of the buildings in ancient Florence.
