The film of "The Eagle of the Ninth" is out next month. They've cut the last 3 words off the title either to save money or to make the title less specific. Possibly there's a feeling that 'The Eagle' might be a title that could apply to any benign super power set upon bringing enlightenment and good sanitation to lesser societies.
Should I go and watch it? The Roman costumes are okay as far as I can see, the chariots are wrong and there's s distinct lack of woad and far too many clothes amongst the Britons, but I can bear that as long as the story is okay.
But - but - I dunno. The adaption of The Dark Is Rising was so awful I can't imagine this being any better.
Will Rosemary Sutcliffe spin in her tiny grave? I hope not.
