They actually seem to think that a butchered adaptation (come on, it's a pretty straightforward story guys...) featuring Angelina Jolie as a character described in the poem as a "troll wife" and with a line that sounds too much like 300's "This is SPAR-TA!" (I!! AM!! BEoWULF!!) is going to be a major awards contender? I don't think so. While yes, the movie could turn out to be awesome, Beowulf, in any form is so heavily action oriented that the chances of it being considered are minuscule. It does, however, have a shot at original song, now that they've got Tony winner Idina Menzel (Wicked, Rent) singing it. But...why on earth is the "troll wife" wearing high heels? Also, take note that the..."thing" Beowulf is wearing around his waist is eerily similar to those leather swimsuits the Spartans wore in 300. Seriously now...
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........
