Beowulf is an Old English heroic epic poem composed around 1100 AD. At 3,183 lines, the poem is notable for its length.

The poem is untitled in the manuscript, but has been known as Beowulf since the early 19th century. As the single major surviving work of Anglo-Saxon heroic poetry, the work — in spite of dealing primarily with Scandinavian matters — has risen to such prominence that it has become "England’s national epic."

In the poem, Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, battles three antagonists: Grendel, who is destroying Heorot and its inhabitants in Denmark, Grendel’s mother, and later in life (after he is King) a dragon. He is mortally wounded in the final battle, and after his death is buried in a barrow by his retainers.

Robert Zemeckis will filming the epic poem in the upcoming screenplay "Beowulf" who is scheduled to be released by Paramount pictures by November 16.

Although it is an official release or just for local usage, the movie backdrop and billboard was shown in Holand. FilmFocus has display them on their blog. I think the official movie poster must be more interesting than the one saw in both backdrop and billboard, so I working on the ’fake’ official movie poster using my own imagination.

With all the respect to the owner of the Beowulf movie images (Paramount Pictures and co) here’s my own version of Beowulf movie poster:
