Based on the same legendary Ninth Legion of the Roman army as Centurion, only this time it has Channing Tatum, so it'll blow. Essentially, both films follow different theories about why the Ninth Legion disappeared. One theory says that the legion disappeared around 117 A.D. That's the Centurion storyline, which tells the story of Boudicca and is from the point of view of those who were involved.

formerly The Eagle of the Ninth, from director Kevin Macdonald (State of Play, The Last King of Scotland, One Day in September). The film trods similar ground to Neil Marshall's Centurion in that both films are about the fabled Ninth Roman Legion, which disappeared in the mists of Scotland.

While Neil Marshall's film was overtly a bloody action picture, this is more clearly an action-tinged story of loyalty and class, as Channing Tatum plays the son of the Ninth Legion's vanished commander, and Jamie Bell the slave who journeys north with him to find the legion's missing eagle standard. Check out the trailer after the break.

I'm trying to give Channing Tatum a chance, because despite serious missteps like GI Joe, he can do good work. I'm not quite sold on him here, but I love how devious and menacing Jamie Bell plays his role. And while the bloodbath of Centurion is fun and appealing as passive entertainment, this is really the Eagle of the Ninth film I was hoping for when I saw that two competing films were in production. And qualms about Mr. Tatum aside, I've seen very little to make me doubt the abilities of Kevin Macdonald at this point.Click here to Watch The eagle online

A Roman epic adventure, based on the classic novel of the same name, 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 (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 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.
