Angelina Jolie: Discussions

Just found this 'neighborhood', so thought I'd enter our latest blog post, or as much as I can post here:

We have blogged about seeing this movie back when it was first previewed at the July 2007 SDCC - San Diego Comic Con International.

For those that have not seen the movie at the theater or viewed the DVD yet... The Beowulf trailer links are still active at:

Here Are Tina's Thoughts on the movie preview program she attended while at the July 2007 San Diego Comic Con on the movie:

Neil Gaiman and director Roger Avery gave Comic Con fans a first look at a 2-D trailer for the upcoming movie 'Beowulf'.

The digitally enhanced live action is their attempt to 'tell the oldest story in the English language', said Gaiman, 'with the technology we have today'.

To me it was a little creepy and alienating, but maybe Angelina Jolie in 2-D just creeps me out...

Jolie's part of what Gaiman calls his 'bull---- casting'. Gaiman continues with 'You know the game we all play, who would you cast for...??'

Holed up in Mexico writing the screenplay and drinking too much beer Gaiman and Avery speculated on their dream cast; Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich and Crispen Glover. They were amazed when everyone said yes!

Well, in November we'll see if the the movie is a dream or a nightmare...
