Ninth Gets Going

Channing Tatum Jamie Bell, Mark Strong and Donald Sutherland (playing the bad guy) have joined Kevin Macdonald's The Eagle of the Ninth remake says The Hollywood Reporter.



The film revolves around a young Roman centurion named Marcus Aquila (Tatum) who investigates the mysterious disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in second-century Britain.

The script is written by Jeremy Brock, who last worked with Macdonald on the Oscar-winning The Last King of Scotland.

The film started production yesterday.

Meantime plans are in motion for me to see current "it" guy Tatum in action in this summer's G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra for myself in the next day or so--when that happens I will share my thoughts on the pic thereafter....
