What's happening with "Beowulf & Grendel?"
"It?s just finished. It?s gonna be premiering at the Toronto Film Festival. I haven?t seen it with the music but I can?t wait to see it because again, it?s great to pick very specific types of movies and types of characters. This is such an unusual, and poetic, and beautiful and weird story, you know, that?s so not like anything Hollywood would throw up.

And we filmed in Iceland, the most impressive landscapes I?ve ever come across, you know, so you have all that in this movie."

Who?s the target audience?
"God knows! You know, quite an intelligent audience I think though because it?s actually very deep and spiritual. It?s really a metaphor for racism and human ignorance of other cultures, that?s the kind of angle we?ve taken. And in the end it?s very profound. And we find we?ve set up a website for it, and you know, if you look on that web site the people that go on that web site are all very literate and well read and?"

And your fans...
"No, a lot of them, no, no. (Laughing) Some of them hate me!"
