Author Neil Gaiman and screenwriter Roger Avary wrote a screen adaptation of Beowulf in May 1997 (they had met while working on a film adaptation of Gaiman's The Sandman in 1996, before Warner Bros. canceled it).
Beowulf is considered an artifact by many because it is the oldest of the English long poems and may have been composed more than twelve hundred years ago.(Beowulf 19) It deals with events of the early 6th century and is believed to have been composed between 700 and 750. No one knows who composed Beowulf, or why.
