Exclusive: New Centurion Pic Run, Fassbender, run!
Neil Marshall's latest film is Centurion, currently shooting in Surrey, and we've got a new picture from the film, with star Michael Fassbender (300, Hunger) on the run from some savage Picts.
Coming on the heels of the excellent The Descent and the rather less excellent Doomsday, this an interesting proposition. For one thing, here Surrey's doubling for Scotland*, more or less: the story sees a Roman legion venture north of Hadrian's Wall and encounter some very unfriendly natives. For another, it may feature dudes in leather skirts and helmets, but it's also a horror movie, with the Romans being picked off in the woods. And thirdly, it's the second film in a row for Marshall that centres around a team venturing through a wall into Scotland and really regretting it.
The film will be out late this year, but in the meantime there's more from Fassbender and Marshall, as well as a glimpse at female lead Olga Kurylenko, in this month's Empire, on sale April 23. I know, we're getting predictable. But it really is all in there.
*Although the film did also spend a big chunk of its shooting schedule in Scotland, so that's OK.
I really can't wait for this, Fassbender for Bond campaign starts here, you can't go back to Metro Sexual Bank managers after Craig's tenure and The Fass would be an Ideal successor.
I hope Marshall delivers although Fass seems to have the right idea of picking roles, unlike Craig who outside of Bond is yet to pick a real decent role. So hopefully Marshall has delivered Descent style on this new film. ... Read More
but I'll say it again in the hope that the more people say it, the more likely Empire is to take notice. THESE HUGE WATERMARKS ARE FUCKING RIDICULOUS! ... Read More
As long as it's not another 90 min Prodigy video, I'm cautiously optimistic. Marshall is becoming the UK's own John Carpenter it seems/he wishes. ... Read More
There was a very strong rumour that Daniel Craig was approached earlier this year to play Thor so it doesn't look like height is going to be a problem. Can't see him in the role myself. Fassbender as Bond would be an excellent choice. ... Read More
I'm glad to finally see photographic evidence of Michael Fassbender filming Centurion! I was beginning to think it was all just a rumor! I adore him! ... Read More
