wow--just add some Celtic element, and Elves, Hobbits, Gnomes, Dwarves and monsters, and this trailer epitomizes the flavor of the D&D campaign I'm about to run

I heard about this movie a while back and I've been waiting for the release. It looks like it's playing in Austin, TX. Does anyone know when it will be widely released? It looks good and I like the cast. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I don't believe it's getting a wide theatrical release. :\ It's already available on DVD.

yeah, I'm not sure about the release (nor did I know what Mouseferatu just said, that its out on DVD), but it just played here at some festival over the weekend--a couple of people were raving about it, but maybe they got a hold of some spoiled rye bread and/or blue woads first, because the term "straight to video" has rather negative connotations...I just hope its as good as Thirteenth Warrior...

Yeah, I just ran across it in my local Rental Store and was shocked b/c we never got a whisper of it in my area theaters. Ah well.

It's a fairly good movie. Advertisers here compare it to LotR but that's just a silly marketing strategy. It is nothing like the Ring trilogy. Not that B+G is surpassed in terms of quality, it's just not a movie of such epic scale. The story and events are far more personal and gritty than the LotR movies.

Perhaps no wide release due to Zemeckis's Beowulf, script by Neil Gaiman?

This was in Winnipeg in theaters about a half year ago. In May, I think. Naw, before that even. April, perhaps.

Personally, I thought that Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King, which is about the nordic hero Sigurd, Dragon-Slayer and cursed ring-bearer was a much better movie then B+G. YMMV, of course

I enjoyed this one, too, but I have yet to see Beowulf and Gredel.
