If you’ve been feeling an eerie sense of deja vu every time you’ve seen a trailer for Robert Zemeckis’ upcoming CG animated fantasy adventure BEOWULF, it’s probably because they’ve skewed suspiciously close to the 300 trailers, from the use of contemporary metal to the brutal, stylistic, fantastical imagery and even the main character yelling something in an authoritative man-voice – while in 300, the declamation was more of a geographically centered intimidation, in BEOWULF, it’s a more personal self-acknowledgment.
