Exclusive: Neil Marshall on his Roman epic CENTURION
Talks to OWF's John Nugent on the gripping legend of the missing Roman ninth legion.
It's a bright sunny March day in central London when I meet the British director Neil Marshall at the press junket for his latest, "Centurion". The plush members club where it is held is in stark contrast to the film Marshall is here to promote, a brutal Roman epic set in Scotland, full to the brim of snow, mud, and blood. Marshall was deep into a heavy day of promotion but seemed happy to answer my questions. His Geordie accent somewhat faded, he nonetheless clearly remains proud of the surrounding areas of his youth, and "Centurion" seems to be a labour of love. He revealed to me some of the more memorable moments on set - watch for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEENb6Vzsss
