ROMAN EPIC "THE EAGLE OF THE NINTH" GETS OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE

Kevin MacDonald's epic film "The Eagle of the Ninth" starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell, has finally got an official release date. The long awaited adventure will premiere on September 24.

Based on the classic novel of the same name, "The Eagle of the Ninth" is set in the dangerous world of second-century Britain. In 140 AD, twenty years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in the mountains of Scotland, young centurion Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum) 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), Marcus sets out across Hadrian’s Wall into the uncharted highlands of Caledonia – to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father’s memory, and retrieve the lost legion’s golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth.
