The New Beowulf movie.

<< < (5/15) > >>

StaedlerMars:
it looks like a highly graphical computer game.

I might still see it though, I read it once, a long time ago.

"TONIGHT WILL BE DIFFERENT!"
"I AM BEOWULF!"

vs.

"TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!"
"THIS IS SPARTA!"

That could be the same movie.

negative creep:
So i've watched the trailer now. It looks like a fucking video game, but not in a good way. What is the point of this?

2nd

there was also a comic released based on the script as a precursor...it looks ok

BobJoeJim:
When I first saw the preview a while ago, I did some research on it and came to the conclusion it was going to suck (for reasons other than the graphics).  I don't remember specifics of what bothered me, but basically it looked like it was going to be a really crappy "interpretation" of Beowulf and that just didn't appeal to me.  I just did a couple quick searches though and can't figure out where I got that opinion from.

As for the justification for the CG, the IMDB FAQ includes this:

"Why is the entire movie CG, not live-action or live action+CG?:

Computer-generated images allowed the director, Robert Zemeckis, far more freedom than live-action filming would permit. Zemeckis has already made an all-CG movie, The Polar Express (2004), and knows its benefits. For this film, they include:

- camera moves that would not otherwise be possible;
- greater control over the art direction;
- greater ability to convincingly age the main character, who must grow fifty years over the course of the story;
- keeping costs down;
- images that look especially good in 3-D processes, such as IMAX or Real D."

Form your own opinions.

I remember that movie, it tried to go for photo realistic CG as well.
