‘Beowulf’ Goes To The Movies
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Monday, November 05, 2007 11:14 AM

We’re willing to bet that most of you read the epic poem, Beowulf in high school or at least got around to reading the Cliff Notes. You already know the tale of the mighty warrior who saved a kingdom by slaying the monster, Grendel and his hag of a mother, so there’s no need for a detailed retelling here.

However, it is being retold on the big screen due in no small part to the work of writers, Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman. Next Friday Beowulf makes the jump from the printed page to the silver screen and we’re going to talk to the two men responsible for making the warrior’s tale palatable for 21st century moviegoers.

I think it's going to be a hit, but like the story of Macbeth, there just hasn't been a movie that truly captures the horrific feel of the original writings; so perhaps some might find the lord of the rings treatment of it a little tame.

I don't know if it's just me, my computer, or my connection, but I CAN'T STAND the G4 flash video player.
