NorsePlay.

In my recently completed rewatch of the 1974-6 CE The Land of the Lost , I capstoned with the 2009 CE film, and had completely forgotten that a pretty near match to the Oseberg Viking Ship shows up among the sands that also have an Urban Outfitters and other odd cross-temporal Midgardian displacements. Yet given the Vikings' achievements in exploration, it instead implies that they might've purposefully come there. This pretty much duplicates the far overplayed viral meme where an astronaut finds a drakkar on the lunar surface right after he arrives: With the raft-over-the-falls-into-a-time-door mechanism that's used in the classic show's intro, the idea that a ship gaining entry into The Land Of The Lost via one of the many Viking "routine expedition"s river route for trade combined with a possibly exceptional Loki-quake could also explain its presence. Or when colonizing Greenland, only 14 of 25 ships actually make it, so it could potentially be one of those...

John Gardner's novel  Grendel  (1971 CE) is slated for a live-action screen adaptation from Jim Henson Company, and is currently in pre-production. For those of you who haven't read this NorsePlay novel, Gardner retells  Beowulf  from the monster's viewpoint. While spiteful & envious, Grendel as a character is given a more empathetically tragic narrative in his fateful defeat . The book's a successful exercise in internally departing from the story , but it's of course limited by Grendel's death, so you miss out on the latter two-thirds of the original epic poem's plot as a big drawback. The above concept art seems more of a lion-wolf hybrid, which'll be voiced by Jeff Bridges. I'd hope for a practical effects creature from Jim Henson's son Bryan, but have to imagine there might be some CGI augmentation when needed to surpass mechanical /performative limitations. Other notables are Dave Bautista as Beowulf, and Bryan Cranston as King Hrothga...
