It is Britain A.D.117 and a group of Roman soldiers have to fight for their lives behind enemy lines after their legion is decimated in a devastating guerrilla attack..

Centurion, directed by Neil Marshall, stars Michael Fassbender, Dominic West and Olga Kurylenko and was filmed at Shepperton studios, Ealing Studios and extensively on location at the Glenfeshie Estate, Kincraig in the Scottish Highlands.

Ilan Eshkeri scored for 30 strings (12 violins, 8 violas, 6 celli and 4 double basses) over 2 sessions with a subsequent brass session featuring 4 horns, trumpet, 2 tenor trombones, bass trombone and tuba. Andy Brown conducted LMO which was led by Tom Bowes and the sessions took place at Abbey Road studio 1. Steve McLaughlin engineered and co -produced the score with Teese Gohl and Ilan Eshkeri. Further overdub contributions were made at Abbey Road by John Kenny  playing a highly unusual Scottish instrument called the Carnyx, and at North Pole studios with Mike Taylor (bodhrán) and Gill Tingay (celtic harp).

Centurion was released in the UK in April 2010 by Celador Films.
