OOOhhhh Noooooo!
Hollywood has got their grubby hands on Beowulf now (via Bookninja. Apparently they think that because Lord of the Rings was a great success and because Tolkein was infulenced by the epic, it naturally follows that the Tolkein crowd will flock to Beowulf the movie. And to top that off, not only one movie is in the works but two, yes two movies, each from different companies. Coming next summer to a theater neat you!
