Hello everyone,

Just a bit of production news for The Eagle of the Ninth! The production started filming back on the 24th August, and is taking place in Hungary and Scotland. Thanks to Philip for linking me up with the information!

Filming begins today [August 24th, 2009] on the Roman epic adventure The Eagle of the Ninth, directed by Academy Award winner Kevin Macdonald and produced by Duncan Kenworthy. Shooting entirely on location in… Hungary and Scotland, the film is co-financed by Film4 with Focus Features, which holds worldwide rights excluding U.K. free-TV.

The cast is headed by Channing Tatum (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, the upcoming Dear John), Jamie Bell (Defiance, Jumper), two-time Golden Globe Award winner Donald Sutherland, and Mark Strong (the upcoming Sherlock Holmes and Robin Hood). Mr. Macdonald is reunited on the new film with Jeremy Brock, BAFTA Award-winning screenwriter of his 2006 film The Last King of Scotland, who has adapted the screenplay of The Eagle of the Ninth from Rosemary Sutcliff’s classic novel of the same name.

It seems to me that in big movies like this, Jamie always tends to play the sidekick… Or one of the supporting roles… When is he gonna get that one that gets him the Oscar?! He deserves it!!!
