The trailer for ‘Beowulf’ hit the interwebs earlier today (so in blog terms, ‘like a million billion years ago’). Special effects dorks everywhere responded with 7th grade gym class sweatpants boners. Zemeckis has somehow managed to get rid of the creepy-mannequin look from ‘Polar Express’ and create impressively realistic CG people. Close inspection of this trailer reveals that Beowulf comes with the promise of swords, one of those Braveheart-type scenes where it rains millions of arrows and semi-naked CG Angelina Jolie. So basically when the movie comes out, the theater will look like this: Row after row of dudes in drawstring pants (every-other seat, of course!) using Twizzlers as a straw. For fantasy fans (and by that we mean virgins), Beowulf just might make up for having to watch Forrest Gump talk to a volleyball for 2 1/2 hours in that crappy-ass Zemeckis-directed Fed-Ex commercial. Not for us though, we still want a public apology and our 10 dollars back.
The trailer also appropriates some of John Murphy’s Godspeed-like score from “28 Days Later.”
