About this movie

A timeless epic tale of heroism and triumph, the legendary Old English tale of Beowulf is brought to life by Academy Award®-winning director Robert Zemeckis (The Polar Express, Cast Away) with digital rendering and cutting-edge performance capture technology. The Departed's Ray Winstone stars as the Scandinavian hero who faces an indomitable enemy (played by cult cinema sensation Crispin Glover) alongside a stellar cast that includes Academy Award® winners Anthony Hopkins and Angelina Jolie, Golden Globe nominees John Malkovich and Robin Wright Penn and more. With a script by Oscar® winner Roger Avary and graphic novelist Neil Gaiman, one of the world's oldest heroic sagas is reimagined as never before with the world's newest technology.
