Synopsis:

Now in fabulous Black & White! It’s the year 500 A.D. in deepest, darkest Denmark. A jealous, decapitating monster — the unstoppable Grendel — terrorizes the drunken revelers of mead-soaked Heorot. Fearless Princess Freawaru and her sidekick, the cynical scribe Shaper, journey in search a hero who can save their people. But it turns out true heroes are rarer than bloodthirsty monsters. And when famed imp-slayer Beowulf rides to Heorot’s rescue, her true agenda could prove more dangerous than Grendel himself.

About BayView Entertainment,...

The modern era is well past the mythical age of heroes, those days of yore where powerful, exemplary people supposedly achieved great accomplishments against all odds. Heroes like Gilgamesh, Arjuna, Odysseus, and Beowulf are among the oldest protagonists in literature, winning wars, slaying demons and monsters, and exhibiting powerful abilities. They have no true counterparts in today's world, except for the purely fictional variety found in literature, comics, film, and video games. It's this larger context that makes Devara: Part 1, the first part of a new epic from Koratala Siva, so much more interesting than a standard action epic. It's a film full of powerful characters and great deeds, but it's set in a more modern, post-mythological era where characters have to find meaning with their best era behind them. There are action spectacles, yes, but the film is just as much about the power of myth and the relation...

Dave Bautista announces the completion of filming for the sci-fi action flick, Afterburn with a heartfelt message on X.

Jackson and Olga Kurylenko. Afterburn is directed by J.J. Perry. This marks his second collaboration with Bautista, following their recent work on the Lionsgate action film The Killers Game.

Gerard Butler is the Picasso of trash cinema. Across a career spanning three decades, he's starred in exemplar schlockfests like "Dracula 2000" (the movie where we learn that Dracula and Judas Iscariot (!) are one and the same) and "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider -- The Cradle of Life" (a film where Angelina Jolie punches a shark in the nose before hitching a ride on its dorsal fin), along with "Law Abiding Citizen," "Den of Thieves," "Plane," the "Fallen" movies, and many more like them. When he isn't playing diabolical baddies or rugged mavericks, he can often be found portraying bellow-y bearded bruisers, be they Beowulf in 2005's "Beowulf & Grendel" or, most famously, King Leonidas in "300."

That extends to writer/directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois' 2010 film "How to Train Your Dragon," one of the best mainstream American animated features of the 21st century and a movie that similarly has...

Monster stories are about as old as storytelling itself, with every primitive society coming up with their own unique spin on man-eating creatures. That’s why it makes sense that writers and filmmakers are still providing us with fresh twists on these ancient tales well into the 21st century, though some of these updates are more successful than others. One monstrous re-imagining that I believe deserves a little more love from genre fans is Howard McCain’s Outlander, a 2008 thriller that loosely re-imagines the classic Beowulf story as a sci-fi monster movie.

Curiously enough, the movie that would become Outlander began life way back in 1992, with McCain coming up with an early iteration of the story which was later rewritten by screenwriter Dirk Blackman. This initial version of the film was intended to be produced independently in southern New Zealand, though it was ultimately never made. It was only in...

Many of the best comics in the world have used public domain characters at some point in their run. Indeed, with the Marvel Cinematic Universe launching into its fifth phase in 2023 there will likely be further examples of those out-of-copyright figures making their way from the page to the big and small screen. The benefit of using one of these figures is that mainstream audiences will immediately recognize them from previous projects, building in a sense of connection. But Marvel Comics isn't the only publisher to feature these universally beloved characters as part of their printed narratives over the years.

Some of the most well-known comic book companies, Image to DC Comics to Dynamite Entertainment, have all turned to familiar faces for a little boost in star power. Often these figures are brought into pre-existing comic lore to help build out the mythology of those particular universes, but it's also...

With many still horrified by the character, writer/director Zach Cregger opens up about how Beowulf inspired Barbarian's terrifying Mother design. The surprise horror hit centers on a trio of characters whose varying stories connect to a rental house in a rundown Detroit suburb that houses a dark secret in a series of hidden tunnels in its basement. Georgina Campbell led the cast of Barbarian alongside Justin Long, Bill Skarsgård, Matthew Patrick Davis, Richard Brake, and Kurt Braunohler.

While speaking exclusively with Screen Rant for the film's home media release, Zach Cregger reflected on the development process behind Barbarian's terrifying Mother design. The writer/director explained how Beowulf inspired the horror movie's antagonist, recalling how he had a drawing of the mother of one of the more iconic characters in the iconic fantasy epic that terrified him as a kid. See what Cregger explained below:

There was a drawing...

Warning: This post will contain spoilers for the film "Barbarian." 

Zach Cregger's 2022 film "Barbarian" is merely the latest in a long, long series of recent "creepy Airbnb" horror movies. This is a whole subgenre now that includes "The Rental," "Superhost," "A Perfect Host," and the upcoming "8 Found Dead." This new subgenre's immediate persistence implies that many members of the film-going public possess an inherent fear of Bed & Breakfasts. It's someone else's home, after all, and they have to track your behavior while staying in their home. It's an alien location with a certain degree of privacy stripped. The anonymity of a hotel room is absent. Airbnb horror movies -- Fearbnb? -- confirm a renter's worst nightmares. That there is something untoward at play. 

That's certainly at play in "Barbarian," a film about a young woman (Georgina Campbell) who finds herself having to unexpectedly share a remote Detroit Airbnb with...

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is a remarkable piece of literature, focusing on Coriolanus Snow, the villain of The Hunger Games. Indeed, there seems to be something particularly compelling about stories from the point of view of villains who have already been well-established, whether in a piece of dystopian fiction like The Hunger Games or in mythology or an established literary canon.

Fortunately for fans of this particular type of novel, there are a number of others to choose from. While many don’t shy away from showing the less savory aspects of their character, they do add layers of nuance and complexity to these individuals.

This post contains light spoilers for Werewolf by Night.

If you’ve been watching She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, you know that the MCU likes to dig deep into the decades-long backlog of Marvel Comics to find weird and obscure characters, including Mr. Immortal, El Aguila, and Porcupine. The upcoming Halloween special Werewolf by Night seems like a continuation of that approach, pushing lesser-known wolfman character Jack Russell to the forefront. But while Russell is certainly a C-list Marvel hero, at least he headlined his own comic for a while in the 1970s. The same cannot be said for the character who provides the emotional spine for the Werewolf by Night special, Elsa Bloodstone.

The scion of the Bloodstone monster hunters, Elsa has made a name for herself in cult comics such as Nextwave: Agents of Hate and Monsters Unleashed. But those comics only scratch the surface of the character’s depth,...

A blood and mead-soaked 150 million film adaptation of the classic epic poem "Beowulf" — one that sees Robert Zemeckis directing from a script by Neil Gaiman and "Pulp Fiction" co-writer Roger Avary — reads like the sort of things we movie buffs would talk about all the time. So why has the film's legacy amounted to little more than being the inspiration for the (somewhat literal) running gag that is Seth Rogen's uncanny valley Viking dwarf Bob in the "Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers" movie?

It's plainly because Zemeckis' 2007 fantasy-adventure was part of his ill-conceived detour into mo-cap animation in the aughts, the results of which were three films that are fundamentally hurt by their creepily life-like, yet still not convincing, CGI human characters. 15 years later, the mo-cap human warriors, royalty, and half-human creatures in "Beowulf" have only grown more off-putting, which is too bad since the actors behind them seem to be having a ball,...

Alexander Skarsgård delivers a wholly remarkable performance as the lead in the new film, The Northman, from visionary director Robert Eggers.

On the verge of manhood, Prince Amleth (Oscar Novak) witnesses his father’s (Ethan Hawke) murder at his uncle’s hand. Two decades later, a grown Amleth (Skarsgård), undertakes a quest to rescue his mother (Nicole Kidman) from his murderous uncle and avenge his father.

Director Robert Eggers imbues all of the moodiness and artistic flourish he exhibited in his earlier films such as The Lighthouse (2019) and The Witch (2015). Written along with acclaimed Icelandic author Sjón, Eggers’ script is unrelenting in its portrayal of Amleth’s struggles and associated hardships. But what is refreshing is that it never feels as though Amleth’s sole purpose for existing is to exact revenge for his father. Instead, it plays as though he is more intent on trying to live some sort...

Director James Cameron has revealed he wants to shoot a feature-length "dramatic film" in 3-d.

In an interview with Variety, the Titanic helmer disputed the misconception that 3-d technology can only be used for spectacle films such as Beowulf and U2 3D.

"I plan to shoot a small dramatic film in 3-d, just to prove this point," he said.

Cameron's next film Avatar, his first in over a decade, will be released later in the year and was filmed using the dual-strip 3-d Fusion Camera that he helped create.

He said: "In Avatar, there are a number of scenes that are straight dramatic scenes, no action, no effects. They play very well, and in fact seem . . .
