Beowulf is a 2007 fantasy film directed by Robert Zemeckis. The film is an adaptation of the Old English epic poem Beowulf and was made using a special technique of digitally enhanced live action.

The Australian release date is November 29th.
While some of the film remains true to the original poem, other plot elements, such as those surrounding Grendel's mother, deviate from the original poem.
