Variety is reporting that Columbia Pictures is negotiating with Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, Brendan Gleeson and Robin Wright Penn to star in director Robert Zemeckis’ Beowulf.
Much like The Polar Express, Beowulf will be a performance capture film in which the actors will not only voice the characters of the film but will act them out as well, only to have them motion captured and animated.
Beowulf will be based on the Old English epic poem following a Scandinavian warrior as he takes on the legendary monster, Grendel, and becomes king.
