Directed by: Kevin Macdonald
Starring: Donald Sutherland, Channing Tatum, Jamie Bell
Marcus Aquila: He's not a slave. And he knows more about honor and freedom than you'll ever know.
Esca: How can a piece of metal mean so much to you?
Marcus Aquila: The eagle is not a piece of metal. The eagle is Rome.
Marcus Aquila: Then I'll take Esca.
Aquila: He's a slave, he does what he does because he has to... He will slit your throat the minute you're alone.
Esca: I hate everything you stand for.
Continuity mistake: When Marcus Aquila and Esca set off for the North they are riding horses, Marcus on a dark brown horse, with a short mane and Esca on a bay (you see close ups of them on the horses, and several screen shots of them galloping on them). However, after their first overnight stay in the North, Marcus' Horse is black with a long mane, Esca's bay horse is suddenly a white horse with no explanation for this. His horse remains white for the rest of the movie.
Trivia: The director was not able to find a suitable Scottish Gaelic-speaking actor to play the boy of the tribe of Britons, so he cast Thomas Henry who is a native speaker of Irish Gaelic from Belfast.
