Beowulf Is Animated?
I guess I didn’t get the announcement, but somehow I missed the fact that the new Beowulf film starring Angelina Jolie, Ray Winstone and Anthony Hopkins is animated. I just saw the TV trailer while watching tonight’s episode of Chuck, and couldn’t help but notice that it seemed slightly like a video game, yet still very realistic. And then I noticed another big detail I had overlooked: it’s directed by Robert Zemeckis! So, I jumped onto IMDB to check it out, and noticed that it is animated in what appears to be the same motion-capture method used in Zemeckis’ The Polar Express.
I already knew the film had an amazing cast, but this makes me want to see it even more! I’m also beginning to think I’ve been living under some rock on the other side of the world! Did anyone else miss this? I need to get back to the real world! I do know however that the movie is slated to release on the 16th of November, and that I will be at the theater watching it.
