The Hollywood Reporter has a story that can only be described with two words.

Fucking. Awesome.

The Old English epic poem, which is thought to have been written in the eighth century, chronicles the exploits of Beowulf, a Scandinavian hero who saves the Danes from the indomitable monster Grendel.

Ray Winstone has signed on to play the title character and will be joined by Crispin Glover as Grendel and Angelina Jolie as Grendel's mother. Rounding out the cast are Anthony Hopkins, Robin Wright Penn, John Malkovich, Alison Lohman and Brendan Gleeson.

Director? Robert Zemeckis. Writer? Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman. That's right. Pulp Fiction meets American Gods in a bar and they rewrite Beowulf together.

Fucking. Awesome.

Angelina Jolie?! You are right; F***ing awesome!

Robert Graham made "Beowulf" with Christoper Lambert. It was a bomb; this one I expect to be very good. - Grendel Glover

I didn't really like "Where the Buffalo Roam." But I watched it on a night shift so I might have slept through it. - Guy
