My son is really looking forward to this movie.

When he was a high school senior, he and a team of his buds got an A+ on a "Beowulf" project they did for their English class.

They used the XBox game "Gears of War" and created selected scenes involving Beowulf and 3 other characters to tell the story of "Beowulf"...the hunt for Grendel and the slaying of the dragon and many others.
They took screen captures then overdubbed the audio with their own voices and sound effects and a hard rock soundtrack...edited it all together using Windows Movie Maker and burned it onto a DVD with titles and credits.
They titled their project "The Geats of War". It was awesome. Quite imaginative.

What a great idea!  It must have been grand, screaming fun to make and I'm glad that it turned out well.  Congratulations!
