The website for the upcoming animated film BEOWULF is now up and running. You can find it here.

There is not much on the site as of yet, but the look and intro help give a feel to the film.

In the film, a Scandinavian warrior named Beowulf must fight and defeat the monster Grendel who is terrorizing towns, and later, Grendel's mother, who begins killing out of revenge.

The film was directed by Robert Zemeckis (Monster House, Polar Express) and features an all star cast. Ray Winstone (Beowulf), Angelina Jolie (Grendel's Mother), Crispin Glover (Grendel), Anthony Hopkins (King Hrothgar), John Malkovich (Unferth) and Greg Ellis (Garmund) are just a few of those lending their voices to characters in the film.

BEOWULF comes to theaters in November of 2007.

they actually did this movie first with Christopher Lambert. it was a bit of a let down. but it did have potential i hope this one comes out good.

Yeah I saw that one, it was fair at best. I just like Lambert as an actor, but it was still not one of his finest hours. I think that's why they might try another go at it with this one.

Great voice cast. I look forward to seeing this almost as much as the live action version starring Gerald Butler and Stellam Skarsgard. This is such a great, timeless story that I must admit I didn't appreciate until years after I was forced to read it for a high school lit class.

Best adaption of Beowulf so far has to be the 13th Warrior. It is also one of the only good viking movies to have been made. Hope this one is as good.

Erik the viking is the funniest viking movie ever made. I liked 13th warrior, but didn't know ir was a Beowulf adaption.
Wish we could have at least seen some stills of this movie or something like a character or anything really. Names of voices don't sell a movie for me.

The 13th Warrior was the adaptation of Michael Crichton's book Eaters of the Dead, not Beowulf.

There was an animate film out of Austrailia called "Grendel, Grendel,Grendel".
It was told from the monster's view point, and featured Peter Ustinov

I doubt it will be better then that was.

#6 - stryffe2004... While 13th Warrior was indeed an adaptation of Michael Crichton's Eaters of the Dead, Crichton himself has admitted that Eaters of the Dead was based on the story of Beowulf.

And I really enjoyed the 13th Warrior -- it was a great movie.

There is an old Kirk Douglas movie, The Vikings, that I caught on AMC really late one night. It was pretty good, too.

Glad other people enjoyed The 13th Warrior. I don't know too many people who saw it, let alone liked it. I didn't know it was based on the story of Beowulf. Of course, I don't know the story of Beowulf.

Beowulf has once again emerged from the mists of time, ready to take his place in our world. Go, Beo!!!
