Centurion's first showing at SXSW

St. Patrick's Day MySpace Glitter Images


What better way to celebrate the day than to go to a parade and flaunt your cultural background. For those in Killarney, they had the extra pleasure of seeing Michael Fassbender as the Grand Marshall for the parade. Hope to see pictures later on.


In project news, Centurion had it's North American debut at a secret screening on March 15 at SXSW. Many times, these screenings are shown really late, after convention hours, and this was no different. Director Neil Marshall and his wife/actress Axelle Carolyn were on hand to introduce the film and answer questions.

A good percentage of comments and reviews were highly positive about the film.  Most fans who have enjoyed Marshall's past work, were excited for Centurion.
Centurion = solid action, good casting, bloody good fun. #sxsw

Yeah! Good ol' fashioned action adventure mayhem! Neil Marshall is officially 4 for 4, in 4 different sub-genres. CENTURION! #sxsw

Michael Fassbender was the man in Centurion. Gonna be a star. #sxswfilm

CENTURION was epic s$#!! Fassbender and West were as awesome as ever. Go see this! When you can, you know. #sxsw

CENTURION is more proof that Michael Fassbender is the Next Big Thing. #sxsw

Centurion: a rockin' good b-picture with savage bloodlust. #sxsw

Centurion slightly cheesy period B actioner, slo-mo bloody fighting, action babes in fur and mascara. Fassbender strong lead.

Centurion was a solid flick. Neil Marshall can make all battle scenes from now on. #SXSW

From what we gather from all the comments, if you like Marshall's work, or movies like '300', or any of the actors in the film, you'll really enjoy this film.  We are looking forward to it's release in August 2010 in the US.  It looks like Michael will have two movies out in August:  Centurion & Knockout.  Centurion will be out in the UK on 23 April 2010.

Knockout is continuing it's shoot in New Mexico for this week.  It's reported to be a three day shoot.  Could be more.  

Centurion was shown again at midnight last night at SXSW.  It will be premiering at Actionfest in North Carolina this weekend.
