Did I see Goya's Nightmare referenced on the board? WTF?
I mentioned Nordic mythology earlier (Rune Stone, Berserker), but just remembered 13th Warrior. It's a great retelling of Beowulf, and Vladimir Kulich as Beowulf is very cool.
Also....Mirimax solicited Neil Gaiman to do a straight Beowulf script, and he might even direct. Now that would be COOL!!!!!!!
The Lambert Beowulf was cheesy in a good way. I saw a animated Beo on HBO Family that was very cool. The sword he uses to kill Grendel's mother has a hilt in the form of a Thor's hammer pendant. Groovy.
And the Seamus Heanley translation of Beowulf is just flat out beautiful whether it ever makes it to fim or not!!!!
