Producer Duncan Kenworthy is reported in India ruing the fact that the film The Eagle (from Rosemary Sutcliff‘s The Eagle of the Ninth) was “slightly oversold as an action release”. (He perhaps refers to the promotion in the USA). He is reported by The Hindu newspaper as saying he would like to describe The Eagle as an adventure film with elements of action. “There is drama and quest, and the best part is the way it has been shot by Anthony Dod Mantle, the Oscar winner for Slumdog Millionaire.”
