Beowulf Movie

Via /.: Robert Zemeckis, who directed Forrest Gump, Contact, and Cast Away among others, will film the epic Beowulf. I wonder how this one will compare to Beowulf and Grendel, already in post-production? I have never heard of Sturla Gunnarsson, but I have always like Zemekis’ films, and his writers for this project include Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction). Exciting news. Both should be interesting, and hopefully less of a disappointment than Troy. Robert, just don’t cast Tom Hanks as Beowulf. Please.
