Movie Centurion

[Vindex]

...I know these movies are for entertainment and designed to grab more of a female audience thus the pretty boys but they surely could find some tougher more crusty looking dudes that also appeal to the ladies.

Rather a sweeping statement...from Rosemary Sutcliffe's novel, Marcus is quite a young man so many of the "hard bitten" types wiould have been inappropriate. But you're right; the movies are made to make some money and the hero has to be eye candy for many reasons...

What sounds even more inappropriate, however, is the plot summary. Is it going to be another of these "adaptations" that shares the title and the characters' names and that's all? Don't recall AT ALL that "Marcus was sent from Rome" for a special mission...I thought he was recovering from a wound and was asked to get invovled due to family and Rome's honour, keeping the lid on the shame of losing the eagle.
