Beowulf adaptations: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The 13th Warrior (1999), which they acted in: Beowulf adaptations ⇒ The 13th Warrior (the host's read). The film is the Beowulf story told as Crichton's 'what was the real thing they were fighting' version.
    “Even going back to Crichton's original concept of like, what's the real story behind Beowulf?”

Michael Crichton: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The 13th Warrior (1999), which they acted in: Michael Crichton ⇒ The 13th Warrior (the host's read). Lowery read the Crichton novel and found the film is the book almost scene for scene.
    “reading the book, I was like, this is pretty much just scene for scene exactly what's on screen.”
