Last night I attended the press launch of The Glasgow international Film Festival which takes place between 17th to 27th February. Now in its 7th year its The UK’s first major festval of the year and the 3rd biggest overall after London & Edinburgh and it was announced the closing gala movie would THE EAGLE. The movie is directed by Glasgow born filmmaker Kevin Macdonald who also directed, Last King Of Scotland and State of Play so its fitting the UK premiere will be in his hometown. Late Last night Focus Features posted on line 2 more tv spots for the movie online called ‘Conquer’ and ‘Warrior’, both tv spots do reveal some more unseen footage.
The Eagle stars Channing Tatum, Jamie Bell, Donald Sutherland, Mark Strong and Tahir Rahim and the movie is set for a March 25th UK release.
