In the sixth century, Beowulf the warrior does battle with a monster named Grendel.
Robert Zemeckis (The Polar Express) dares another motion-capture animation project, only this time he gets more classical with his source material and super maximo rad with his voice cast (Crispin Glover as Grendel).
In a legendary time of heroes, the mighty warrior Beowulf battles the demon Grendel and incurs the hellish wrath of the beast's ruthlessly seductive mother.
A stellar cast is led by Ray Winstone (The Departed, Sexy Beast) in the title role. Joining him are Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins as the cursed King Hrothgar, John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson, Crispin Glover, Alison Lohman and Oscar Winner Angelina Jolie as Grendel’s mother.
