Following a previous post (this one) on interesting places in Britain, now we have the opportunity to see Hadrian's Wall in its prime, thanks to virtual reality. This recreation of the Wall is a main feature of a film to be premiered today: The Eagle  (La Legión del Águila), a most interesting movie for its historical context, the stunning Scottish scenery (Caledonia) and the view of the Wall in plenitude.
It also features a  soaring star since his debut as a dancing actor or acting dancer with a beautiful Northern Accent in Billy Elliott film:  Jamie Bell has grown since to become a competent performer in more than ten films to date.
In conclusion, a very promising movie, quite probably a feast for your eyes, so make sure you don't miss it.
