The Eagle of the Ninth Images appear
The Eagle of the Ninth is a film that nobody has really heard of, and for good reason. The novel adaptation of the book written up by Rosemary Sutcliff  did not spill out much of marketing at all until now. We’ve got a ton of pictures from Yahoo! Movies and Coming Soon of the drama that includes the talents (or lack thereof from the lead) of Channing Tatum, Donald Sutherland, Mark Strong and Jamie Bell.
In 140 AD, twenty years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in the mountains of Scotland, young centurion Marcus Aquila (Tatum) 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 (Bell), 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.
The Focus Features picture is directed by Kevin Macdonald and has no set release date at the moment. The film is expected to come out sometime in 2010. Here are the rest of the pictures for you to check out right here.
