Awesome! Would be interested to see this.

Love this film, a very very different take on the story but well done.

reply

yep I wil I def be seeing this as well, regarding this film there has been many adaptions for film+TV in the past!

reply

Yep. But this film had a very unique take on the tale. The aspect of Beowulf sleeping with Grendel's mother and being the father of the dragon was quite original.

reply

yea I know what you mean, but their has been many really good adaptions in general! what do you want to see from of this series?

reply

I want to see a couple of things. I think the poem has a pretty good structure and they should retain it, basically the three battles in sequence. I want each of the three battles to have great meaning and be truly epic. And lastly, I want a truly ridiculously badass Beowulf, who is as heroic as portrayed in the poem - none of the angsty pussified conflicted hero sh_t they do these days - a true old-fashioned badass. I think this movie version did well on all these 3 fronts, hoping for the same from the series.

What about you? What would you like to see?

reply

Looks dreadful, maybe even worse than all the other Beowulf films that have been done (if that's even possible).
