I’m really looking forward to the big screen adaptation of Beowulf coming out this fall.
The movie, which premieres November 16th, features live actors whose motion-captured performances have been digitally enhanced post-production for a unique, almost photo-realistic look that is visually impressive.
Besides contributing to the production’s overall look and feel, the use of CG, or computer generated, special effects in the film will also allow for some fairly amazing action sequences (one hopes) aided by dynamic camera angles impossible to acheive using real-world techniques.
Directed by Academy Award-winning director Robert Zemeckis, Beowulf features a star-studded cast of actors and actresses – Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, and Angelina Jolie are just a few of the big name stars contributing their talents.
Oh, and the script was co-written by Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction) and none other than Neil Gaiman, one of my all-time favorite authors.
If you haven’t seen the trailer, you can check it out here at the official movie site.
Oh, and while you’re there (assuming you’re old enough), follow the Restricted Content link for a look at the “red band” trailer which contains additional footage and material, some of which may be inappropriate for younger viewers. (The site requires you to verify your age.) The “red band” trailer contains a bit more violence and bloodshed, and some nudity as well.
