The movie will also star Ray Winstone and Crispin Glover. Beowulf will be made in the same manner as The Polar Express. Technology is used to capture the performance of the actors, which is then transformed into an animated version.
This movie was inspired by an English poem, that tells the story of the Scandinavian hero Beowulf, that saves the Danish people from a horrendous monster named Grendel.
Winstone (Sexy Beast) will have the starring role, while Glover will play Grendel, and Jolie plays Grendel’s mother. Anthony Hopkins, Robin Wright Penn, John Malkovich, Alison Lohman and Brendan Gleeson also have parts in the movie.
Beowulf will be in theatres in 2007.
