Our brothers in arms over at JoBlo.com got their hands on a few new character posters for Neil Marshall’s CENTURION, which marks a slight change of pace for the director in terms of subject matter, but certainly not in terms of bloodshed (read out FantasiaFest review HERE). Cuz there’s a lot of that in this bad boy. The film comes out theatrically on AUGUST 27th, but if you can’t make it out or if it’s just not playing in your hood, you can hit it up on VOD, VUDU, Playstation Network, Xbox Marketplace and Amazon.
Also, we got sent a pretty nifty comic book style poster from artist Simon Bisley, which depicts the film’s villainess (played by Olga Kurylenko) and hero (Michael Fassbender).
Finally, if you live in New York, and you’re a big fan of Marshall’s, then you might want to hit up “NEIL MARSHALL WEEKEND”, a special two-night retrospective at the IFC Center in downtown Manhattan. Marshall will be present to introduce midnight screenings of his modern classics The Descent on Friday, August 13 and Doomsday on Saturday, August 14.
Centurion, a gripping survival thriller set in early AD Britain, finds Quintus, the sole survivor of a savage raid on a Roman frontier fort, joining General Virilus’ legendary Ninth Legion to march north and wipe out the terrifying tribes known as the Picts. When the Legion is attacked and Virilus seized, Quintus struggles to survive behind enemy lines with a small band of soldiers in a race to save their general and evade capture, torture and certain death.
The film stars Michael Fassbender, Dominic West, Olga Kurylenko, David Morrissey, Noel Clarke, Riz Ahmed, JJ Field, Liam Cunningham and Imogen Poots.
