Beowulf & Grendel is a 2005 film Canadian-Icelandic fantasy adventure film directed by Sturla Gunnarsson, loosely based on the Anglo-Saxon epic poem "Beowulf".It stars Gerard Butler as Beowulf, Stellan Skarsgård as Hrothgar, Ingvar Eggert Sigurðsson as Grendel and Sarah Polley as the witch Selma.The screenplay was written by Andrew Rai Berzins.The soundtrack was composed by Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson.While some of the film remains true to the original poem, other plot elements deviate from the original poem: four new characters, Grendel's father, the witch Selma, Father Brendan, and Grendel's son are introduced, and several related plot points were developed specifically for the film.The film is a cooperative effort between Eurasia Motion Pictures (Canada), Spice Factory (UK), and Bjolfskvida (Iceland), and it was filmed in Iceland.The story takes place in the early half of the sixth century AD in what is now Denmark, but the filming of the movie in Iceland provided many panoramic views of that country's landscape.In 2006, a documentary of the difficult making of "Beowulf and Grendel", called "Wrath of Gods", was released and went on to win six film awards in Europe and the U.S. [SEP] Knowledge 2: Sturla Gunnarsson
