Upcoming Film Alert: The Eagle

With the official trailer released over Christmas, The Eagle shows signs of becoming one of 2011's premier Action/Thrillers. Directed by Kevin Macdonald and starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell, the February 11th premier will certainly find me anxiously awaiting the opening scene from a comfortable seat in a downtown Lincoln theatre.

Set in 2nd century Britain, the son (Tatum) of the infamous 9th Legion commander goes on an adventure to regain his father's honor and lost Eagle emblem. A good film to watch as a sort of a prequel (though they have different credits) to this upcoming film would be Centurion, an excellent 2010 film directed by Neil Marshall and starring Michael Fassbender. Below is The Eagle's trailer and the IMDB links for the two films.
