The difference to "Centurion" is that this is based on a novel while "Centurion" was a movie script. But the mysterious disappereance of the Ninth Legion is of course a good source for any stories...

Why wasn't the title "Eagle of the Ninth" used?

 

I'm curious to find out too.

 

Perhaps the producers thought that the Eagle is a catchier, cooler title. Perhaps they might have changed it in order to not confuse people. I remember reading that The Madness of King George III's title was shortened so that people wouldn't get confused and think it was the third part of a trilogy. Maybe the producers thought of something similar with Eagle of the Ninth. I guess they thought most audiences would ask "Ninth what exactly?"

IMDB aludes to the fact that "The Eagle of The Ninth" may be the UK title.

 

If that's the case, US film-makers probably should have more faith in their audience.

I guess I'll see it as soon as it's available online. Would rather see it on the big screen but honestly don't feel like watching it in a language other than English... :hammer:
