Deliberate Distortion and Misinformation in Movie Productions of Literary Works: A Study of Beowulf   Aloy Nnamdi Obika PhD Department Of English, Madonna University, Nigeria, Okija Campus, Anambra State. 08033820690 aloyobika@yahoo.com  & Uche Oboko, PhD Department Of English, Madonna University, Nigeria, Okija Campus, Anambra State. ucheoboko@yahoo.com   Abstract The tendency towards taking anything associated with the Information Communication Technology (ICT) to be modern, accurate, scholarly and enlightening is causing problems in the study of literature and language studies. This problem has so permeated scholarship that many classical texts on poetry and fiction have been dramatized and saved on compact discs (CDs). These plates being cheaply sold in the market are mostly bought and watched by students who then jettison the original texts which are in hard copies. They go so far as to look down on the few students who go back to the abandoned hard copies. For the present researchers to prove that this trend is inimical to academic enquiry and growth, they collected many versions of the Anglo-Saxon epic, Beowulf. Using ordinary random sampling, they selected just one since studying all the numerous copies obtained will not be possible in a paper of this nature. But as it is in Beowulf, so it is in many classic works of literature. On studying just one of them, and applying Formalism as the theoretical framework, the researchers discovered four sources of errors that make the ICT version to differ from the original texts. These sources are: errors due to interpolations by the producers, omissions of parts of the original text, alterations of the text and the impossibility of transposing a work of literature from one genre to another.
