The New Beowulf movie.
Blue Kitty:
you don't need to quote the person above you
anyone else feel, "This is Sparta" with the ending of the trailer?
TheFuriousWombat:
I thought he was going to break out in '300' lines. At at least a couple points, the way the line was spoken and the general idea of it was the exact same.
Dimmukane:
So, my friends dragged me out to see it (I hadn't seen any of them in several weeks), and they charged an extra 3$ for the 3D glasses. The 3D part was cool and all, but I felt like it could've been expanded on. The rest of the movie save Sir Tony Hopkins was pretty much a pile of shit. I really tried to like it, and I just could not get into it.
And despite Grendel being a zombie, I think they did a decent job with it.
Johnny C:
I saw a take on it in The Globe & Mail which suggests it's actually a satirical work, and given that it's penned by Neil Gaiman that wouldn't surprise me. Hence Beowulf's screaming and the odd behaviours and depictions.
Not as good a satire as Beowulf & Grendel, I take it.
Spinless:
Hee, King Leonidas was played by Gerard Butler, who played Beowulf in Grendel and Beowulf in 2005, and the 2007 Beowulf movie seems to be heavily influenced by 300. This makes me chuckle.
