The New Beowulf movie.

(1/15) > >>

Boro_Bandito:
Has anyone else seen trailers for this? I've been seeing them pop up from time to time for the past month and largely discounted them for being another bad translation of a classic story into a live action movie until I realized upon closer observation that it's not live action. From the commercials it looked like it to me but today while watching a marathon of Heroes on G4 the commercial popped up and I saw something strange in the facial expressions, took a closer look and it just has to be 3D animation. I'm gonna go find the site but that is some pretty damn good animating skillz.

Edit: according to the official website, its digitally enhanced live action, where I think basically the entire movie is motion capture animation.

website it www.beowulfmovie.com , has got some trailers for you to see.

leave for no raisin:
You know, I don't really want to see it for any reason other that Neil Gaiman co-wrote the screenplay.  I've had to read Beowulf waaaaay too many times.

Blue Kitty:
I for one did not know that it would be animated


looks cool

Boro_Bandito:
I've read Beowulf so many times its not even funny, every English class from 9th to 12th grade for some reason or another required reading it, because when I switched from 9th to 10th the High school system was different, then they changed policies the next year, then when I was in 12th grade I graduated from a high school in Maryland in which the senior English class required it. I have a sneaking suspicion that had I not taken the AP exam and got college credit for English 102: Basic Composition I would have been forced to read it again.

Liz:
I've never actually read it before. It was one of the required materials at my high school, but we had such a shuffle of teachers going on when I was there that the syllabus for each class changed each year. I've always wanted to read it, though, so maybe I'll go for that this year...

Also the movie does look interesting. I was kinda hoping it would be live-action, but oh well.
