Stop me if you've heard this one before, eh?

Neil Marshall directed Dog Soldiers, a rather good film about a bunch of soldiers who get sent to Scotland - then end up stranded and fighting for their lives...

He also directed Doomsday, a rather less good (but very entertaining) film set in the near future, about a bunch of (mostly) soldiers who get sent on a vital mission to a plague-infested Scotland and end up fighting for... well, I'm sure you get the idea...

His next project, Centurion, is a historical thriller. Care to guess the theme?

Yep.

Three thousand men - the glorious Ninth Legion - are sent into Scotland to deal with the Picts. The Picts do not fight fair. It does not go well for the Romans.

Rotten Tomatoes has a 'sneak peek' video online. Looks interesting.
