Toga! Toga!

Not sure how I missed this news earlier today, but I did, and I offer up my throat for the slitting because of this lackluster performance o' mine. I sucks! Via, via my bud Sean:

"Neil Marshall Unleashes Centurion

Details surrounding Neil Marshall's latest film, Centurion, were announced today, and even though it's not horror per se, we're sure that it will still appeal to you, oh dearest reader!

The Hollywood Reporter reports today that "the movie, billed as a thriller set during the Roman invasion of Britain in A.D. 117, tells the story of Quintus Dias, sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, who marches north with General Virilus' legendary Ninth Legion, under orders to wipe the Picts from the face of the Earth and destroy their leader, Gorlacon."

Considering Marshall's style and track record, I'm sure there will be enough violence to sate even the blood-hungriest of gorehounds out there.

Centurion will star Michael Fassbender, Dominic West, and Bond-girl Olga Kurylenko. Keep it here for more as it comes."

Thanks to his previous three films - for those unaware, I speak of Dog Soldiers, The Descent, and Doomsday (it looks as if he's all done with the letter D for now) - all being genre knock-outs, I will follow Neil Marshall anywhere, so I'm sold. Do your thing, Mr. Man, and I will buy my ticket.

I had to look up Michael Fassbender, which right off the bat proves that I haven't seen the film Hunger, because supposedly he gives some sort of crazy-ass memorably disturbing performance in it or something that I'd supposedly remember if I had seen it. But I have not. So I don't know him. He was also in 300 (I do sorta remember him now after seeing that pic there at the bottom-left) and he's in Inglorious Basterds as well... so I guess he's what people call "an up-and-comer."

As for Dom West... well he too proved that he can rock a toga in 300, so there's that.
