Dark Age Briton and Scandinavian types...

I know that a number of you have a bit of a thing for the dark ages...

Thought you might like to know that they have made Beowulf into a movie...

Unfortunately some of the Geats have Scottish accents and the fen loping, Geat munching demon Grendel has been transformed into what appears to be a Neathandral man, however the great halls and armour all seems to look the part.

Hmmm, my version of quicktime won't play the trailer - just the audio.
It would have to be exceptionally good.

Cool link
There are three links given FS, try the small one, I got that one to give me video but the other two only gave audio.

Cheers,

Hmm.. Looks interesting.

For a change the costume department seem to have been trying to get it right instead of indulging themselves.

That might be worth watching. :swordfigh

Looks good,I am going to go see that one I reckon.

Looks OK. Does anyone remember the animated version that was on Beeb 2 a few years ago? Now that was class, they really captured the darkness and desparation of Beowulf.
