Beowulf Game Coming

On May 29th, 2007 in Uncategorized -

Unknown to many, Paramount Pictures is adapting the Old English heroic epic poem Beowulf to the big-screen, and it seems Ubisoft wants a piece of the action, too. The publisher has announced that it will develop and publish a video game based on the upcoming movie which is being directed by Robert Zemeckis and adapted to the screen by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary.

Groundbreaking director Robert Zemeckis offers a vision of the “Beowulf” saga that has never been told before. In a time of heroes, the mighty warrior Beowulf slays the demon Grendel and incurs the wrath of its monstrous, yet seductive, mother in a conflict that transforms a king into a legend. “Beowulf” stars Ray Winstone in the title role and Anthony Hopkins as the corrupt King Hrothgar, as well as John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson, Crispin Glover, Alison Lohman and Angelina Jolie as Grendel’s mother. Paramount Pictures, in association with Shangri-La Entertainment, Presents an ImageMovers Production of a Robert Zemeckis film, “Beowulf.”

Since the film is being shot in digital, the game and the movie will share content, making it a seamless transition between the two. The game is expected to be released alongside the movie‘s planned release this November. No other information was disclosed.
