Beowulf

Inspired by the epic Old English poem of the same name, director {|Robert Zemeckis|}'s digitally rendered film follows the Scandinavian hero Beowulf ({|Ray Winstone|}) as he fights to protect the Danes from a ferocious beast named Grendel ({|Crispin Glover|}). Though at first Grendel seems invincible, Beowulf eventually manages to defeat him in a desperate battle to the death. Devastated by her son's violent demise at the hands of Beowulf, Grendel's mother ({|Angelina Jolie|}) sets out in search of revenge. Later, Beowulf faces the biggest challenge of his life when he attempts to slay a powerful dragon. {|Anthony Hopkins|}, {|Robin Wright Penn|}, {|Alison Lohman|}, {|John Malkovich|}, and {|Brendan Gleeson|} co-star in an epic fantasy adventure penned by {|Roger Avary|} and {|Neil Gaiman|}.
