NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN ALTERNATE ENDING EXCLUSIVE TO BLU-RAY(TM) AND DVD

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- OVERVIEW: The Eagle rises from 2nd-Century Britain, where celebrated Roman soldier Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum of Fighting and The Dilemma) embarks on a dangerous quest to restore the tarnished reputation of his legion commander father - and find the golden emblem that disappeared with his father and thousands of troops 20 years earlier. But the highlands of Caledonia are a savage wilderness and Marcus must rely on his embittered slave, Esca (Jamie Bell of Jumper), to navigate the perilous region. Donald Sutherland (Pride & Prejudice) and Mark Strong (Kick-Ass) costar in Academy Award®-winning director Kevin Macdonald's (State of Play) epic journey that takes audiences beyond the boundaries of loyalty and betrayal, friendship and hatred, and deceit and heroism.

Hailed as "a thunderous adventure" (J. Hoberman, The Village Voice), The Eagle features two versions of the movie: a never-before-seen unrated version and the original film released in theaters in 2011, both of which are available across release formats, including Blu-ray(TM), DVD, Digital Download and VOD. The Blu- ray(TM) and DVD also offer an exclusive alternate ending. This gripping, gritty, audacious Focus Features release debuts on Blu-ray(TM), DVD, Digital Download and On-Demand June 21, 2011 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
