Marshall assembles 'Centurion' cast

Rex Features

Michael Fassbender, Dominic West and Olga Kurylenko have joined the cast of Neil Marshall's Centurion.

The sword and sandals epic takes place during a Roman invasion of Britain, says The Hollywood Reporter. The movie will focus on Quintus Dias, who unites with General Virilus's Ninth Legion to wipe out the Picts tribe after they raid a Roman fort.

Fassbender, up for the Orange Rising Star BAFTA, appeared with West in last year's 300. Kurylenko starred in Quantum Of Solace and Max Payne.

Marshall, whose previous credits include Doomsday and The Descent, will write and direct the movie with Slumdog Millionaire's Christian Colson producing.
