Date:

IONCINEMA.com Top 100 Films

#65. Centurion

Director/Writer: Neil Marshall
Producers: Christian Colson and Robert Jones
Distributor: Rights Available.

The Gist: Set during the Roman invasion of Britain in A.D. 117, this tells the story of Quintus Dias, sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, who marches north with General Virilus’ legendary Ninth Legion, under orders to wipe the Picts from the face of the Earth and destroy their leader, Gorlacon.….(more)

Cast: Michael Fassbender, Dominic West, Olga Kurylenko, Noel Clarke and David Morrissey

Why is it on the list?: A specialist in the genre fare, we can expect Marshall to once again deliver on the action front – plus this has Fassbender, an actor worth keeping close tabs on.

Release Date/Status?: Oddly enough, this film was presented at the Cannes Market and yet still hasn’t been picked up. Should find a U.S. distributor once they companies realize that, despite it belonging to  this one might be a moneymaker.
