I did a little searching around and found out that “Beowulf and Grendel” is actually an indie movie. The big budget “Beowulf” is currently in production with Robert Zemeckis directing and will be feature lots of computer animation a la “The Polar Express.”

On an up note, it appears as though Grendel will actually be a monster this time around, played by none other than the nutty George McFly.

Before you go too crazy thinking we might actually get something that resembles the poem, I learned awhile ago that somebody named Angelina Jolie (who?) had been cast in the movie. (I didn’t see any of this stuff on the “Beowulf and Grendel” site and thought that it was odd–I had a sneaking suspicion I might have the wrong movie.)

Never doubt Hollywood. Jolie has been cast as Grendel’s mom.

This only makes sense to Jennifer Aniston.
