Beowulf: An IMAX 3D Experience
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. Groundbreaking director Robert Zemeckis offers a vision of the Beowulf saga that has never been told before - BEOWULF, starring 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. Neil Gaiman (Mirrormask, the graphic novel, Sandman) & Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction) adapted the legend for the screen.
The film has a simultaneous domestic release in conventional and IMAX theaters. It has been digitally converted into IMAX 3D and re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® through IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology.
