Dave Bautista and Jeff Bridges lead a stacked cast which will flip the Beowulf story and presumably also feature a puppet or two in the mix.
Here’s a fine story to kick off the week. The legendary Jim Henson Company is set to make Grendel, a live action version of Beowulf, the epic tale of heroes, monsters and the clashes between them.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Palisades Park Pictures is launching sales for the project at the upcoming Cannes marketplace. We’ve seen the tale of Beowulf rendered on the silver screen before of course, with Robert Zemeckis' 2007 version re-telling the Old English epic poem through the medium of computer animation.
Although that film is sometimes floated as an example in debates about the merits or shortcomings of CGI experimentation, it boasted an impressive cast that included Ray Winstone, Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Robin Wright and Crispin Glover...

The story of Beowulf and Grendel is one of the most famous stories in English literature. The epic Beowulf is one of the most important works of English literature in general and it has been an inspiration for many authors over the centuries. We have also had numerous adaptations of the work, including the animated film from 2007, but all of them focused on the heroic tale of Beowulf, the hero of the story. But, the story also has another important character – Grendel – the monster and Beowulf’s rival in the story.
Grendel is finally going to get the chance to tell you his side of the story, as the movie Grendel will be released soon, with Palisades Park Pictures is launching international sales ahead of Cannes.

Actor and former wrestler Dave Bautista was last seen in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic Dune: Part Two as Glossu Rabban. The actor has come a long way from his WWE days and has branched out into various roles in acclaimed films such as the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, Blade Runner 2049, Knock at the Cabin, and Glass Onion.
The actor will be seen next in Robert D. Krzykowski’s fantasy epic Grendel, which sees the actor play the popular character Beowulf. A retelling of the epic poem Beowulf, the film is adapted from a novel by John Gardner. It explores the story of Grendel, a monster whom Beowulf hunts. The film also stars Jeff Bridges, Bryan Cranston, Sam Elliott, Thomasin McKenzie, and more.

Here's some very cool news: the folks at the Jim Henson Company will lend their skills to building practical monster puppets for a new live-action movie based on "Beowulf" and on the John Gardner novel "Grendel." The film, titled "Grendel," will retell the legend of Beowulf from the monster Grendel's point of view (via THR). Jeff Bridges is set to play Grendel, while Dave Bautista will portray Beowulf. The cast also includes Bryan Cranston set as King Hrothgar, Sam Elliott as The Dragon, Thomasin McKenzie as Queen Wealhtheow, Aidan Turner as Unferth, and T Bone Burnett will also appear as a character named The Shaper. Burnett will also craft original songs for the film. Robert D. Krzykowski, who helmed the wonderfully titled film "The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot," is set to direct.
So what makes this so cool? Simply the fact that we're getting practical monsters...

When we reviewed Mythic Battles: Pantheon just a month or two ago, I had no idea that soon-to-follow would be a newer, more refined take on the divine conflict genre that I had immediately fallen in love with. Mythic Battles: Pantheon is brilliant, and for me, the Greek mythology setting is perhaps the absolute pinnacle – but Mythic Battles: Ragnarok is more refined, more balanced and arguably – even though I enjoy the Norse mythos less – even better. The fundamentals of gameplay are the same, but you can see where four or five years of feedback has been invested in Monolith’s immense follow-up.
Mythic Battles: Ragnarok shares the same setting as Mythic Battles: Pantheon, with the idea that some cataclysmic event has rendered the Gods down to Earth, making them mortal and forcing them to fight for divine stones in order to reclaim their power. As in Pantheon, players choose a points value,...

Angelina Jolie has usually had little to no problem disrobing for a film if the role required it. But there was one film where her nude scene didn’t come off the way she thought it would. Caught off guard by the shot, Jolie felt she had to warn her husband at the time and her family about the movie.
Angelina Jolie was caught by surprise with her nude scenes for this film Angelina Jolie | Cosimo Martemucci/Getty Images
Jolie already starred in a few movies where she had to bare her physique for the camera. But ironically, one of the nude scenes that might have caught her off guard the most was an animated feature. Beowulf was a 2007 fantasy film about the hero Beowulf who attempts to fight an evil presence in his country.
But unlike other animated features, Jolie’s performance wasn’t just solely about voice acting.

‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’ Review: Mortality Casts a Shadow on Otherwise Amusing Animated Sequel
This review of “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” was first published on November 26.
It’s been 11 years since the last “Puss in Boots” movie, and 12 years since the last proper installment of the original blockbuster “Shrek” movie franchise. So it makes sense that this new kids movie would want to grow up with its former audience. But “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” may have overshot that mark: The latest fairy-tale comedy adventure is all about how living in an old folks’ home is tragic and depressing and only slightly preferable to our inevitable, terrifying deaths.
Unless, of course, you find a wishing star!
Um… yay?

Angelina Jolie movies list is so loaded it’s hard to pick which is her very best and which are not so cool. My foolproof technique for doing this for any actor is to check what critics and audiences are saying across multiple channels. That’s exactly how I arrived at ranking Angelina Jolie’s movies from best to worst. In the end, you can hardly go wrong with the multiple award winning actress. Even the worst movies on the list feel somewhat watchable because of her graceful and charming personality. There are scarcely a handful of actors that come close to Jolie’s reputation.

We compare the best and worst Robin Hood movies. From Errol Flynn to Kevin Costner, Russell Crowe to a fox, here's the definitive ranking.
Like a certain Saxon archer landing an arrow right down the center of a bullseye, another Robin Hood movie being around the corner is inevitable. One of the oldest and most beloved figures of English folklore, Robin of Locksley has evolved through the centuries from grifter and trickster to fallen nobleman, and finally to righteous social justice warrior enamored with a serious income distribution plan. He also has more easily made the jump to cinema in the 20th century than many of his legendary peers of yore like King Arthur and Beowulf.
Indeed, thanks in large part to the charms of Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland, Robin has been the star of one of the most important Hollywood films in cinema history,...
