The first trailer for Centurion has hit the net and it looks great. Written and directed by Neil Marshall (Doomsday, The Descent, Dog Soldiers), the film stars Michael Fassbender, Dominic West, Olga Kurylenko and it’s a about a group of Roman soldiers that have to fight for their lives behind enemy lines.
When I interviewed Michael Fassbender for Fish Tank, he told me a lot about Centurion. Fassbender called it “a Roman chase film” and when I asked him what it’s about, he said, “It’s basically about a group of Roman soldiers trying to get back across the border. It sort of surrounds the legend of the Ninth Legion. What happened in this myth is the Ninth Legion went over the border into the highlands to suppress this tribal community that was wreaking havoc on their outposts. They were trying to suppress this race. It was kind of like the Gaul situation where they couldn’t manage to suppress this tribal sort of community in France. So they sent the Ninth Legion in, which was one of the best Legions they had, and they disappeared. Five thousand men got wiped out. They never came back. So it’s basically Neil’s take around that myth.”
Check out the trailer after the jump. It’s definitely worth your time.
Centurion gets released in the UK April 23. I’m not sure what the release date is in America.

Again with the stirrups. Such an easy detail to get right, but for some reason no one can.
This movie looks mediocre at best. It will probably be on the scale of Arthur that came out a few years ago. I still do like most movies about Rome and Roman soldiers though so I will probably see it, just not in theaters.
The Brit girl is hot, but I doubt they had females commanding their armies lol.
Not impressed by the trailer, it has good actors (Fassenbender is great in Fish Tank) and Olga Kurylenko looks menacing but it seems a bit generic to me
I think it has potential. Sure, we can only speculate what the conditions of Northern Britain were from a historical standpoint, and we can debate ad nauseam about minute details, but this is “historical fiction”, after all.
Also, female leaders were a very rare event indeed, but they did exist:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudica for example.
lol, yeah but Boudica is like a rare exception. They usually attained power through relation to powerful men (fathers, grandfathers, husbands).
That is not the only thing that concerns me about this movie, it would be a widely successful film if that was my only beef. I'm not saying it will suck, but it kind of looks like it might be another Arthur film or The Last Legion (where the young caesar goes to Britain to find the Ninth Legion coincidentally). Then again it could turn out to be awesome and have the vibe of something like Rome the TV Series.
Its probably a big health and safety issue to get riders and horses who've been using stirrups forever to attempt to ride using a 4 horned saddle thats not been in existence for the last thousand years or so…
edit: and by forever I do of course mean there entire lifetime
I guess you don't know the history of Ancient Britain all that well. Ever heard of Boadicea who was a warrior queen who fought the Romans?

Maybe a history lesson is in order, especially on the status of women in ancient times.
