Not too sure if any of you have heard about this movie, but yeah it's being made.(based on the book, go read it) The movie will completely CG. Also, thhe most Interesting thing about this movie is that it will be using Performance Capture (if you've seen Monster House or Polar Express then you've seen this before).

This movie also has a great cast, like Anthony Hopkins and Angelina Jolie(ugggh). Will definitely go see this movie.

...a great classic story... but i'm not feeling very confident about this film... guess I'll wait and see... Looks like typical action/fantasy adventure, just using a very old and well known setting and story...

My thoughts during this trailer:

Ok... ok... oh, it's motion captured, THAT'S why everything looks like shit.

Crispin Glover as Grendel
So yeah, I'm seeing this.

Despite the fact that it looks like an N64 game.

I am definitely seeing this movie, solely because I think Angelina Jolie is a fantastic actress.

Yeah at first I thought this was going to be a real life film (not stop animation) then when the action scenes in the trailer showed up... yeah it didn't look as good.

Oh well, high hopes, I hope they have all 3 battles in this =D

Antony Hopkins, gooooooooooooooood.
Angelina Jolie, baaaaaaaaaaad.

She's not an actress, she just a babe with lips. Her movies require only little "acting" ( No Mr and MRS Smith does not count as acting )

Ah well, we'll see. It won't be a movie that'll require too much acting anyways ...
