Has anyone seen the new move Beowulf? Emily Carlson isn't sure about the new movie Beowulf. Why is it animated with real people? I'm sure they had to pay Angelina Jolie and ton of cash to use her voice and likeness... why wouldn't they just have her REALLY do the movie, and not some image of her? Here's a synopsis from Wikipedia: This adaptation of Beowulf tells the story of how the warrior Beowulf helps King Hrothgar protect Heorot from the powerful Grendel. After defeating Grendel, Beowulf incurs the wrath of Grendel's mother, who seduces him in order to conceive a son. Beowulf leaves with Grendel's head to secure his reputation and claims to have also killed the mother. Fifty years after these encounters, Beowulf discovers that he has a third antagonist to battle with: a ferocious dragon that turns out to be his son. After a fierce battle that ends in the death of both warriors, Grendel's mother is once again left childless.
