Beowulf coming to Theaters

Every once in a while, I go to Apple’s website to check out the newest movie trailers. I find it is a really good way to check out what movies I want to see. This weekend I came across a trailer for Beowulf which will be coming to theaters on November 16th. For those who haven’t heard of Beowulf [wp], it is an influential Old English heroic epic poem which dates back to 700–750 AD. Beowulf was basis for J.R.R Tolkien’s academic career which was the first serious literature critiques of the poem. The poem was, also, a strong influence in The Lord of the Rings which lead to the development of modern fantasy. Although I would never read Beowulf, I think it is an excellent premise for a movie.
