It’s been a while since we’ve seen or heard anything from the upcoming epic film, The Eagle of the Ninth. Perhaps it has something to do with Channing Tatum starring as the lead, but we can’t know for sure. The film also features a mature Jamie Bell and acting vet Donald Sutherland in a supporting role. Over at Yahoo, they’ve release six new photos from the film so lets take a look…
How did this little film starring Channing Tatum, Jamie Bell, Donald Sutherland, and Mark Strong, written by BAFTA Award-winning screenwriter Jeremy Brock (The Last King of Scotland) and directed by Academy Award winner Kevin Macdonald slip by us for so long? We didn’t even hear about them casting Eagle of the Ninth, but everything is set and the crew is currently on location in Hungary and Scotland, and they have begun filming!
The film was adapted for the screen by Brock, off of Rosemary Sutcliff’s classic novel of the same name. For more on the story keep reading…
Many of us remember Jamie Bell from his amazing performance as Billy Elliot. The man can sing, dance, and now he shows us he can shoot a Nazi. In his upcoming role in Edward Zwick’s new WWII film, Defiance, about the Bielski Brothers, Bell shares the screen with Daniel Craig (interview here) and Liev Schrieber. Although his character does not stand toe to toe with the other actors, he as an actor certainly does. Bell gives an honest performance, one which I think many people will be able to relate to, because he is the every man’s hero.
We were lucky enough to chat with Bell about preparing for his role in Defiance, having Craig teach him how to look good with a gun, some of the big problems A-list actors are having getting jobs, and more.
