The legendary lost Ninth Roman Legion (although nowadays people don’t think they really were lost) is going to be big this year, with both Kevin MacDonald’s Eagle Of The Ninth and Neil Marshall’s Centurion dealing with the story. While the former will follow the aftermath and a young soldier trying to find out what happened to his father, who was part of the Ninth, Marshall’s film follows the Legion itself as it goes beyond the empire’s frontiers and into hostile Pictish country, in what today would be Scotland, with a few survivors of a devastating attack trying to escape from behind enemy lines. The first trailer for the film has now arrived and it’s pretty intense, promising balls-to-the-walls action. Centurion is out on April 23rd, but you can click below to watch the trailer (Eagle Of The Ninth should arrive in the summer).
