I think another good reason is to have a cohesive style. Instead of having those weird moments where CG mixes with live action (in which this film will have a ton and which not even LOTR was all that succesful) everything should flow together well, plus you get the actual performance of these actors.

Don't think I could have said it better myself. I have heard from people who got to see some of the 3D at Comic-Con that seeing it on the big screen like that is a whole other world compared to a trailer on your computer monitor.

And I do agree that I like the idea of a cohesive style. I have faith in Zemeckis that he can pull it off.

hey -- new trailer up on apple.com...

http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/beowulf/

it is the one called trailer #2

once again, more cool stuff shown. i cant wait for this one.

I think it looks awful, especially the rotting Gollum that's jumping around everywhere.

Matthew Chmiel 09-20-07 03:59 PM

I think after the success of 300, they should just go with the R.

That new trailer looks horrible. The music isn't doing it any favors either.

I like the story of beowulf, gaiman, avery and winstone, and even experimental animation like a scanner darkly, but this movie looks really horrible. Looks like a 2 hour video game cinematic filled with stiff celebrity look-a-likes. I take it back, most video game cinematics look more exciting then this.

I agree that the music doesnt fit the movie, hopefully they dont use music like that in the final cut. Still looking forward to it though.

fernsita 09-21-07 08:36 AM

I don't know guys. I think the graphics looks cool, the style they are going for is different an I think it will work. And the music gets me pretty pumped.

fernsita 10-02-07 03:11 PM

Guys -- MSN UK just got another trailer. This one looks very different in a good way. The graphics look better and I like the music in this one. You gotta checks this one out:

Very cool.

I'm not sure if you're joking but The 13th Warrior was loosely based on the same story.

I don't know what happened to me but I saw the trailer a few months back and I was mildy interested, but I saw the trailer again the other day in the theater and I got really excited about seeing this.

al_bundy 10-03-07 07:25 AM

i was joking

saw the 13th Warrior years ago and didn't know it was based on Beowulf. I read part of the poem afterwards and suddenly a lot scenes were straight out of the movie

if Regal Gallery Place downtown (DC) hasn't converted one of it's screens to DLP-3D I'm going to spew bullets from my mouth.

HAHA. That is one of my favorite theaters. Hopefully they will have it there in 3D. Although imagine if they got this at the Uptown?? That would be insane!
(sorry for the DC talk for those of you who don't live here.)

Uptown would be awesome, any and all films with wide aspect ratios of 2.35:1 or wider look incredible at the Uptwon. I'm always advocating AMC to upgrade to DLP - to feature DLP 3D would be icing on the cake. If Clearview can feature this at NYC's Ziegfeld which it does - DC's Uptown could also.

Given the fact the DC area has three IMAX screens, and if the pattern holds true, Udvar Hazy (the one IMAX that doesn't have 3D playback), will get saddled with 'Beowulf'. Stupid, stupid move on the Smithsonian's part not to install a 3D system over at Udvar Hazy.

Giles 10-11-07 01:04 PM

looks like Beowulf will get shown in 3D at Regal Gallery Place - an email from Regal and a listing for 'Nightmare Before Christmas 3D' in today's City Paper verify's that Regal has installed a 3D DLP system intown.

:banana:

I knew it...

Beowulf - Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence including disturbing images, some sexual material and nudity.

Giantrobo 10-11-07 07:59 PM

I'll say it again, that second trailer has me really excited to see this film. I'm sure the PG-13 won't be that big a deal. Just wait for any cuts to show up on the DVD.

fernsita 10-14-07 09:22 PM

Yeah i'm not worried about the rating at all. Should still be really good. You can really squeeze a lot into pg-13 if you are creative. The way these trailers look I'm sure they can handle that.

Deftones 10-14-07 09:34 PM

I like me some animated nudity. Probably just be dude ass, though. :(

Zen Peckinpah 10-15-07 11:12 AM

Well, my hopes that this is NOT the Beowulf I had to read in high school are out of this world. Hopefully this is the type of PG-13 we got out of the Burton Batman movies or Batman Begins or even Transformers. You know, the one that actually MEANS that some material may not be for children under 13. :D

Bluelitespecial 10-15-07 10:27 PM

Well its not like this movie was supposed to be rated R like the last Die Hard movie, it looks really cool, and I can't wait to see the imax version.
