The Eagle stars faced interrogation today (March 11th) in a Webchat. As Empire put it:
One got his start playing a ballet dancer in Billy Elliot; the other as a street dancer in Step Up. But there’ll be no twinkling of toes as Jamie Bell and Channing Tatum team up for Kevin MacDonald’s latest film, The Eagle. Set in Roman Britain, Tatum’s a young Centurion trying to redeem his family honour following his father’s disgrace, and Bell’s the British slave who may hold the key to sorting it out. Join us, won’t you …..
