Get Fully Immersed In The Assassin’s Creed Movie With Kernel

Are you just dying to see Assassin’s Creed this December? Kernel is here to help make the wait worthwhile.

As Tom Petty once said, the waiting is the hardest part.  But as movie geeks, the waiting can also be a fun part of the experience, as we pore over every little detail we can find before the things we love hit the big screen.  Each movie takes a different approach to how they share information, sate and tease their fans in advance, but one of the more interesting and cool concepts I’ve found is Kernel.

These guys are curating one of the most immersive pre-release fan experiences out there, offering everything from behind the scenes looks at the movie, exclusive and preview merchandise, special ticket preorders and more.  Kernel has just announced their next partnership, and it’s a big one– Assassin’s Creed.

Kernel’s Assassin’s Creed bundles sound awesome, and they offer a wide enough price range to fit the budget of pretty much any fan.  The bundles start at $15– which gets you an exclusive watch, movie ticket, copy of the script and more– all the way up to $1,200, which includes a 1:1 prop replica of the Spanish Crossbow seen in the movie.

All the Assassin’s Creed bundles are available now at www.kernel.com/assassinscreed.  Head over there to sign up now, and read more on this awesome new program below:

Beginning today, March 9th at www.kernel.com/assassinscreed, Kernel is affording Assassin’s Creed fans the opportunity to immerse themselves in the highly anticipated movie release with exclusive film merchandise, one-of-a-kind experiences, revealing behind-the-scene sneak peeks and more.

Long before the Assassin’s Creed trailer premieres and nine months before the movie’s debut, Kernel’s is offering passionate fans of the franchise a first look of key elements from the film, including the hoodie and gauntlet worn by Callum Lynch’s/Aguilar (played by Michael Fassbender), limited-edition collectibles, apparel and accessories, the film script, advanced movie tickets, tickets to San Diego Comic Con and more.

To satisfy fans’ intense interest in their favorite entertainment franchises and characters, Kernel works directly with studios, filmmakers and distributors to give visibility to the entire creative process, from script to screen.  The Santa Monica-based company has redefined fan engagement with offers such as movie ticket pre orders, access to exclusive digital content, and customized VIP-experiences.

Kernel co-founder Andy Martinez says: “We’ve curated bundles at all levels but the most important item included in each purchase is the ticket. That’s the shared piece that binds and connects all of us as Assassin’s Creed fans since the day we first plugged into the Animus and thought to ourselves,  ‘wow, this would make a great movie!’”

Part of what is unique about Kernel and this program is that it is a real honest-to-god collaboration between the movie Fox, Ubisoft, New Regency, and of course the product creators like TriForce and McFarlane whose contributions traditionally wouldn’t be surfaced until much later.

The Assassin’s Creed movie, based on Ubisoft’s best-selling franchise, stars Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard.  The film premieres December 21, 2016 from Fox Filmed Entertainment and New Regency.

Kernel’s Assassin’s Creed packages range from $15 to $1200. Once fans purchase a package, they’ll be treated to additional behind-the-scenes content, more exclusive movie merchandise and experiences that will continue to become available in the months leading up to the film’s release.
