CHANNING TATUM TO JOIN THE ROMAN LEGION!
Did you know that there is a 90% chance that Channing Tatum next movie project will be the Roman Empire drama The Eagle of the Ninth !? Yeah I know, roman costumes + Channing = HOT!
It is the story of a young Roman officer Marcus Aquila's search to discover the truth about the disappearance of his father's legion in the north of Britain. Travelling in disguise as a Greek eye doctor beyond Hadrian's Wall he finds that a demoralised and mutinous Ninth Legion was readily destroyed by a great rising of the northern tribes. In part this disgrace was redeemed by a heroic last stand by a small remnant around the legion's eagle standard. Marcus' hope of seeing the lost legion re-established is dashed but he is able to bring back the bronze eagle so that it can no longer serve as a symbol of Roman defeat and as such be a danger to the frontier.
