Throwing in pre-order bonuses and selling tall-priced special editions are standard practice with new video game launches,but not so with theatrical film releases. Ubisoft, being the publisher of the “Assassin’s Creed” video game series and producer of the Michael Fassbender-starring film adaptation, or is pulling out the standard tricks in promoting the film even as we sit nine months from its release.

On the low end is the $15 tier,which includes a ticket, a collectible watch, or temporary tattoos of the two main characters’ faces and a digital copy of the screenplay. On the tall end is a $1200 replica of a crossbow prop used in the film. Dropping all that cash only gets you a single ticket,however.
Other packages offer stuff like a 20-inch statue of Aguilar, played by Fassbender, or an assassin-style hoodie and a t-shirt.
The “Assassin’s Creed” film is scheduled for release on December 21.
