First, why pick a legion like the 9th....

Because Rosemary Sutcliff didn't write a book called 'Eagle of the Sixth'.

These stills seem to be quite recent:

As Josephus said, besides this kind of lorica segmentata it's (compared to other movies about Romans) rather looking good.

:roll: Jeeez... I wonder why it seems to be impossible to display Romans the way we currently think they looked like....

Why is he fighting a tattooed Gollum with an ancient (by 140AD) Celtic sword?

Well, if he didn't fight him, from the looks of things, it would be a short movie? :roll: :lol:

I see they have gone for the accurate 'gunslinger' style of gladius suspension..... :roll:

There is another movie being filmed about the ninth, Centurion. With lot of stuff recicled from gladiator...

we already know this (<!-- l <a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.romanarmytalk.com/rat/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26102&start=0">viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26102&start=0<!-- l ) and the only thing they recycled from Gladiator seems to be Maximus' armour.
