First George McFly in BEOWULF and now Frankie jumps aboard!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. BEOWULF gets weirder and weirder. The cast is ecclectic, that's for sure... but now we have Robert Zemeckis directing a screenplay adaptation of BEOWULF scripted by Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman and starring Crispin Glover, Ray Winstone and Angelina Jolie. Curiouser and curiouser. It's also announced now that the film will be co-produced by Paramount and Warner Bros. I'm insanely curious about this project and would be looking forward to it even more if it was live-action! Can you imagine how creepy Glover would be as Grendel in some badass make-up? Click here for the Hollywood Reporter confirmation!
