Boudicca Movie

[Anonymous]

It seems that I am to get my wish, Legio Secunda Augusta will be doing some filming which I must assume is for [url=http://media.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,7541,706162,00.html" target="top]this film about Boudicca[/url] to star [url=http://www.geocities.com/corday_greene/" target="top]Alex Kingston[/url] (presumably in the title roll).<br>
<br>
I must confess to feeling a quite childish excitement at the prospect. <p></p><i></i>

It turns out that Leg II Aug is doing a big documentary production and not the movie which is already in the can. I am still looking forward seeing to both. <p></p><i></i>

This is an excerpt from the article on the Boudicca Movie.<br>
<br>
---<br>
Boudicca came to power after the death of her husband Prasutagas, king of the Iceni tribe in what is now known as East Anglia. He agreed to be a client king of the Roman empire, which is rather like saying you would accept protection from Tony Soprano," said Davies.<br>
---<br>
<br>
This Davies guy compares making a client agreement with the roman empire as somewhat equivalent to making an agreement with the mafia character Tony Soprano. Any comments on this comparison?<br>
<br>
I find it quite stupid. I fear it sets the tone for this production.<br>

The Boudicca TV movie was on in the UK on Sunday. It was an absolute disgrace. They simply hadn't bothered, and, having looked forward to it for days, I just sat cringing for two hours watching supposed legionaries (dressed in black to represent the bad guys!) fighting at close quarters with what looked like native-indian spears, while small barbarian children crawled through their legs and tripped them up like something out of a 'Carry On' movie.<br>
<br>
What a waste of money (and two hours of my life!).<br>

Hello folks<br>
<br>
Just to let you know the [url=http://www.legiiavg.org.uk" target="top]LEG II AVG[/url] involvement in a recent Boudica project had nothing to do with the recent TV film which has been hung, drawn and quartered on the other forum.<br>
<br>
LEG II AVG was involved in some filming for a Buodica documentary which the BBC are doing but that's all.<br>
<br>
All the best <p>Graham Ashford

We of the legio secunda augusta did not have anything to do with this movie. Thank goodness for that!<br>
<br>
The documentary were involved in is to be shown as part of a series call Battlefield Britain in the summer of 2004. <p></p><i></i>
