Hello Everyone,
Evelyn here,
Below is the "The Last Legion"entry from the homepage. I posted a extended review of "The Golden Compass there.

08.11.07 - Can we ever get enough of the variations on a story about an orphaned boy turned king by an aging mentor and/or wizard. Apparently not, because on August 17, 2007 MGM and director Doug Lefler (DRAGONHEART: A NEW BEGINNING) will be releasing THE LAST LEGION. Like the 2004 movie release of KING ARTHUR, starring Clive Owens, THE LAST LEGION, is based on the little known myth that Arthur’s legend might center on a roman general named Arturus. However, for this production, the boy is named Romulus Augustus and he is the last emperor of Rome.
The story begins near the end of a crumbling Roman Empire and is about the dangers and adventures of a 12-year-old boy named Romulus Augustus. After escaping from his capturers on the island of Capri, Romulus journeys to
Britannia in search of ‘Excaliburnus” the legendary sword ofJulius Caesar. To win back his throne he must also seek the aid of the last Roman legion – the fabled Dragon Legion, and to finally meet his destiny as the last emperor of Rome and the king of the legends.
Cast: James Cosmo, Harry Van Gorkum as Vortgyn, Kevin McKidd as Wulfila, Thomas Sangster as Romulus, Colin Firth as Aurelius, John Hannah as Nestor, Peter Mullan as Odoacer, Iain Glen as Orestes, and Ben Kingsley as Ambrosinus.
