New Restricted ‘Beowulf’ Trailer Raises Eyebrows

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on September 4, 2007

Whilst at Comic Con this year we were treated to a lovely night of wining and dining with the folks at Paramount. They were a great group of hosts, feeding us drinks and letting us hobnob with celebs like Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary. But besides the booze and the Sci-Fi novelists, we were also treated to some slick 3D footage from their upcoming flick Beowulf. And no, we are not talking about the very Icelandic version of the Beowulf saga that starred Gerard Butler. That was Beowulf and Grendel; no one saw that one. We are talking about Beowulf! A film that will become the widest ever 3D release in history and the first film to accomplish something that we’ve all been waiting to see: improve upon the glorious hotness that is Angelina Jolie.

I know what you are thinking, “No fuckin’ way!” It is true my friends, this film’s animation effects, led by director Robert Zemeckis and the same team that made The Polar Express, has taken the curvaceous anomaly known as Ms. Jolie and digitized her. Remember how you were all secretly yearning for more of Aki from the Final Fantasy flick? This is the evolution of that. Check out the “Restricted” Trailer here or just click the image above to see what I am talking about.

Beowulf hits theaters November 16, 2007. Check out BeowulfMovie.com for more.
