State Of Play director Kevin Macdonald is going back to Roman times for his next film, signing up to direct The Eagle Of The Ninth.

E.T.A: He's Emeric Pressburger's grandson? I didn't know he had any! Now I'm inclined to like him whether he screws up one of my childhood books or not!

Not quite as falbergasting as a similar conversation featuring a person wanting to hear about people who painted flowers and Georgia O'Keeffe -- but still!
