Director Robert Zemeckis ('The Polar Express') and graphic novelist Neil Gaiman (the 'Sandman' series) team up for this highly anticipated, performance-capture adaptation of the Old English epic poem. When the young warrior Beowulf (Ray Winstone) travels to a neighboring kingdom and slays the monster Grendel (Crispin Glover), he is hailed as a hero. But before long, Beowulf must face an even deadlier foe: Grendel's mother (Angelina Jolie), who seeks vengeance for the loss of her son. The film also stars Anthony Hopkins as King Hrothgar, Robin Wright Penn as Queen Wealtheow and John Malkovich as Unferth
@4evaAlbanianprincess Ha, I remember when I read the book and then the movie came out. The events are still there BUT they changed it so that the story would flow more rather than show different events in Beowulfs life. Both versions are highly respectable

@carol6133 if you watch the behind the scenes footage on the dvd it's explained why. The voice actor for Beowulf looks nothing like him but he had the voice. They couldn't find anyone who looked anything like they imagined Beowulf would.
