Thread: Beowulf trailer

OMFG! Yes Yes Yes!


I loved Beowolf. It was one of the few stories in literature that I didn't despise. The movie they made kind of sucked, so I am hoping for great things with the new Beowolf they are coming out with.

Quicktime crap doesn't work on my PC.

gerard butler plays in beowulf n grendel. the non animated one it's great. you can find torrents for it. or i can upload it for you if you can't. it's awesome.

that looks cool.

As far as the trailer is set, I dont like that the whole thing is a cartoon....even though almost every single special effect nowadays is a cartoon..

What type of special effect is being used here?
I'm not feeling the look....at least for now.

Hang on...so theyre coming out with 2 different beowulfs? Why do the trailers look like they are of different stories?

I love movies like this I don't care if they used motion capture it just adds a surreal look to it, like it's in the imagination of some norse childs nightmare after sitting around the fire listening to the legend....The 13th Warrior was my favorite of the styles though while not fully based on Beowulf/Grendel it's very similar. Also Gaiman the writer of this screenplay did Mirrormask which is a visually stunning piece of work...

I have that movie. It's actually a pretty good flick.

wtf...they make them animated yet tailor them after real people. That is kind of dumb. Just use real actors for fuck's sake. Looks like a fargin' movie made from Oblivion. And what is this? Oh, another remake of a fucking story. Write your own god damn original screenplays...god damn.

There are a lot of subtle nuances, but the main story is a basic "Good guy kills monster" story. With the odd twist that he also kills the monster's mother.

It's poplutar for scholarly reasons. The only way the movie can be any good is if the production value is high and the direction is good.

the gerard butler one has been out quite a while.

min0 trailer thread was better. I am staying there!
When you enter min0 trailer thread, you already see the trailer.

Looks pretty damn cheesy if ya ask me. I'll probably enjoy it.

I tend to find that there's an inverse relationship between what the critics like and what I like.
