But which of Sutcliff's books would you like to see on the big screen?
*Yes, I know that Eagle of the Ninth was serialised by the BBC, but it's a fat lot of good if the Beeb neither shows it now, nor issues it on DVD

Film rights
I've been contacted recently by someone from the US trying to find out if a particular book by Rosemary Sutcliff has had the film rights bought. I've passed her onto Anthony Lawton, needless to say. But she did ask if there were any 'fun' titles I'd like to see on film ... I told her the books that are most often mentioned by fans I've met (Eagle of the Ninth* and Mark of the Horse Lord), plus threw one in of my own (Sword at Sunset). Lets see if it comes to anything in the coming years ...

I would love to see `The Sword at Sunset' on the Big screen, done right it would be fantastic, done wrong and it would break my heart,I could`nt cope with seeing my favourite book "Hollywoodised", (see King Arthur from a couple of years ago.)
