Channing Tatum Talks About “The Eagle”

When you think of Channing Tatum you don’t think of Roman soldiers and swords-and-sandals epic tales. You think of romance (“Dear John”), or action (“G.I. Joe”), or heck, even a dance movie like “Step Up.” But guess what? All those elements he learned from his previous movies came in handy when it comes to making “The Eagle.” Tatum plays Marcus Aguila, a Roman soldier who will do anything to restore his father’s reputation.

In this interview, we talked about:

*** Why he chose to make “The Eagle”
*** How director Kevin Macdonald’s films influence his decision in joining the cast
*** How he prepared for the role
*** The biggest challenge in making “The Eagle”
*** What went through his mind upon learning that the Roman soldiers would be played by American actors
