Beowulf Film

Currently in production is a Beowulf film, slated to be released in early 2007. My English language lecturer has a friend who was involved in the filming until he quite because the film took, what he deemed to be, far too many 'artistic' liberties, which I don't understand 'cos its a damned good story itself, even if it is hard to read.

I wonder how much was too much, and if it will be good.

I suspect that the liberties begin with the creation of the character of 'Selma' (played by Sarah Polley). Gotta have that love-interest, I guess.smiley - erm
