We’ve just been sent the brand new UK quad poster for The Eagle (formerly known as The Eagle Of The Ninth), which you can see above. It may be a tab generic, but it’s also pretty cool. If you haven’t seen the trailer for the movie, click here to have a watch, as the Kevin MacDonald (Last King Of Scotland) film looks like it might be pretty good, with Channing Tatum channeling his inner Roman, while Jamie Bell plays a less than enthusiatic slave.
It’ll be in cinemas on March 18th, 2011, but enjoy the new poster and here’s the official synopsis: ‘In 140 AD, twenty years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in the mountains of Scotland, young centurion Marcus Aquila (played by Channing Tatum of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Dear John) arrives from Rome to solve the mystery and restore the reputation of his father, the commander of the Ninth. Accompanied only by his British slave Esca (Jamie Bell of Defiance and Jumper), Marcus sets out across Hadrians Wall into the uncharted highlands of Caledonia to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his fathers memory, and retrieve the lost legions golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth.’
