Beowulf

I can't wait for this...


Saw the trailer and it was fantastic!

Beowulf was written by an anonymous author circa 700 AD. The 3183-line poems remains the centre of attention of scholars for being one of the earliest works of British literature. It is the only surviving work in Old English, otherwise known as Anglo-Saxon.

Beowulf also inspired J.R.R Tolkien, the master mind being The Lord of The Rings trilogy.

Beowulf is coming to the cinema this 16th November 2007.
