Anybody seen this? www.beowulf-movie.com/

I'm looking forward to its release. That quasi-sci fi movie with Christopher Lambert sucked pretty bad.

I am glad to see that film makers are making the classics into movies...........and Sarah Polley is pretty nice

Ever try to read it in the original old english?

Pain in the ass. Its really almost a different language.

Should rock as long as they don't try to "20th centurize" it.

As a matter of fact I have. It is a little tough at first but by the end I was used to it. I hope they don't ruin the story with a half-assed movie.

"then hrothgar smited the wyrm with hrunting..."

didn't they already make a "beowulf"? or wasn't The 13th Warrior some bastardization of it?

The 13th warrior was a screen adaptation of the book Eaters of the Dead
