2 below par on the ninth hole

I mean, Eagle of the Ninth, the movie.

I think I posted a link about this film when I first heard they were making it. Apparently they changed the name because people thought it was about golf.

For you film/history/sutcliff buffs out there, the wikipedia entry has some interesting factoids about various [in]accuracies... (I especially like the symbolism of the Romans being played by Americans):

I haven't gotten over the horror that was Centurion yet, so I'm not too excited about this one. Mind you, I read the book about thirty years ago. As I recall, it was quite a good read, so perhaps the good folks in movie-making land will surprise us.

I live in hope!
