There is no story more epic than Beowulf. I got introduced to the tale in high school and explored it deeper at university. It is a story that is larger than life, following the journey of an incredible hero — Beowulf — who battles mythical beings and does some super-duper heroic things. There have been other Beowulf movies in the past, but what makes the upcoming movie extra special is that they are using motion-capture technology similar to what was used for The Polar Express, starring Tom Hanks. Wikipedia calls it “digitally enhanced live action.”

What you see above is the trailer for this latest take on the epic Beowulf story. Ray Winstone will take the title role, whereas other critical characters will be “played” by Anthony Hopkins (King Hrothgar), John Malkovich (Unferth), Alison Lohman (Ursula), and Angelina Jolie (Grendel’s mother). And yes, Angelina Jolie’s boobies are in the trailer. Well, not her boobs, but a CG representation of her boobs.

Beowulf will be directed by Robert Zemeckis and is scheduled for release on November 16 of this year
