SHOOTING BPOG IN NORWAY

They said yes.

Even after shooting had  begun at our donated warehouse, courtesy of Commonwealth Inc., we didn't have our setting for our Scandinavian exteriors. I had sent inquiries to the film commissions of Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway and had not heard back. 

   

We began searching domestically for a substitute, including remote corners of the Great Lakes, and the fjords of Alaska. 

​

Meanwhile, the Norwegian Film Commission contacted the Norwegian Cancer Society, who in turn contacted the Kvam district on the Hardanger Fjord, and the rest is history.

Casting Beowulf as a Black man was not done as any attempt to stir up controversy. Rather, establishing the prince's origin as from a culture that didn't encourage violence (the only way to get to Valhalla was to die with a weapon in your hand), was a way to answer logic gaps in the original poem. For instance, as king, Beowulf rules in peace for 50 years, thus denying his nation's warriors from reaching heaven. Being from a peaceful African tribe fixes that dichotomy without requiring any change to the original story.

Hollywood actor and bodybuilder Christian Boeving ( https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0091443/ )

came to Cincinnati to play Beowulf's famous nemesis Grendel. 

   His look was based on the premise that Grendel was actually one of the last Neanderthal, and the basis of the real life troll legends that permeate the Nordic regions. Theories abound of an actual race war between Homo sapiens and Neadrathals that lead to these legends.
