Michael Fassbender, Dominic West and Olga Kurylenko. "Centurion" is set in the Roman Empire which is faced with an elusive enemy: the savage and terrifying tribes known as the Picts. Quintus, sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, 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. But when the legion is ambushed on unfamiliar ground, and Virilus taken captive, Quintus faces a desperate struggle to keep his small platoon alive behind enemy lines, evading remorseless Pict pursuers over harsh terrain, as the band of soldiers race to rescue their General, and to reach the safety of the Roman frontier.
Another huge treat are the first pics of Olga Kurylenko as the mermaid empress in the mesmerizing Chinese 3D underwater epic "Empires of the Deep". The most expensive Asian epic tells about a young man's adventure in the undersea mermaid kingdom in order to save his father, while encountering ferocious sea monsters and gets involved in large-scale battles in the seabed between mermaids, monsters and demons.
Oh, is that really the mermaid costume, that Olga wears?! I have to say, I'm rather disappointed :( Hopefully, it will look better on screen. I'm still mad that Monica Belucci was replaced by Kurylenko! Monica would have looked gorgeous as mermaid!
ReplyDeleteI missed to watch "Centurion" on big screen. Its release was a month ago here in BG. I'm still mad at myself I didin't :(
I kinda like it because judging from the first pics (there are many more over at EMPIRES OF THE DEEP Facebook page) it seems they will create a totally unusual new world just like they did in AVATAR. There are many strange looking creatures, stunning mermaid men with Mohawks and other underwater details.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about CENTURION I'm sure you can watch it our "regular way" (or is it the irregular one LOL) :))
You know that poster and photos are jaw-dropping. Initially I want to publish them at my blog but again "Too Much to Do, Too Little Time". Sigh :(
ReplyDeleteah, yes, Jaccsy, I also have to little time, but I'm currently on a short holiday so I can work in the HOLLYWOOD SPY headquarters more than ususally :)
ReplyDeleteBut I do expect to see EMPIRE OF THE DEEP photos over at Buzzes cafe, after all it is your favourite subject - an Asian movie :P
Both of these will be rentals for me.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to know they have your support.
ReplyDeleteBoth movies sound awesome!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I don't have a Facebook account. :(

ReplyDeleteyep, two visual treats!
@Neb
it's a shame you don't, you could add me for a friend there if you did.
I've seen pictures from Empires of the Deep and it looks even better than I've hoped. There are some interesting and original designs in this film.
ReplyDeleteit will bring something unique to the world of movies, I hope.
