“The Eagle of the Ninth”

April 1st, 2009 • By Tran :: Jamie, The Eagle of the Ninth

Hello everyone,

Thanks to Phil for keeping me updated on this! Apparently, Jame has been recently cast in a new film, based on a novel of the same title, The Eagle of the Ninth.

Kevin Macdonald, director of the upcoming political thriller State of Play, will next helm the Roman military drama The Eagle of the Ninth. Jamie Bell is set to star in the 2nd century A.D. tale, and Channing Tatum is in talks to join him.

The story revolves around a wounded Roman soldier and his loyal Celtic slave who try to solve the mystery of the Ninth Legion, a brigade of Roman soldiers that vanished after heading into the untamed Highlands of Scotland 15 years earlier.

Bell is set to play the slave, while Tatum has been offered the lead. Hungarian locations will stand in for 2nd century England, while the Scottish scenes will be filmed in Scotland.

The script was written by Jeremy Brock, who teamed with Macdonald on The Last King of Scotland. Duncan Kenworthy (Love Actually) is producing through his Toledo Productions Banner.

Jamie to be Tintin

January 27th, 2009 • By Tran :: Jamie

Hello everyone,

Fantastic news, Jamie Bell will be starring as Tintin, in the highly anticipated collobration work of Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s.

Source: ET Online
Principal production will start this month on directors Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s highly anticipated big-screen adaptation of the beloved comic-strip character Tintin — with two ‘Defiance’ co-stars reuniting for the proposed trilogy!

‘Billy Elliot’ and ‘Jumper’ star Jamie Bell is set to play the title character, with his ‘Defiance’ co-star/current 007 Daniel Craig set to portray the nefarious Red Rackham in ‘The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn,’ a 3D motion-capture film directed by Spielberg and produced by Jackson, due for release in 2011. Jackson will direct the second Tintin installment, produced by Spielberg, with a third film also in development.

Belgian artist Georges Remi’s (writing under his pen name “Herge”) created the roving junior reporter, who often finds himself in jeopardy in search of a good story. With his trusty dog Snowy by his side, Tintin’s adventures have taken him to far-off locations around the globe, tangling with smugglers, crime lords, grave robbers and jewel thieves. The Adventures of Tintin first debuted in 1929, with a series of 23 books published through 1976 selling more than 200 million copies worldwide.

Excited anyone!?
