Based on the epic 9th Century Anglo-Saxon poem that inspired the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, BEOWULF AND GRENDEL barges on to the screen in gritty medieval style as a live-action adventure that has been described as 'entertaining and berserk' by the Calgary News and Entertainment Weekly and as 'good, bloody fun that stirs the intellect' by the Village Voice.
Directed by Oscar-nominee Sturla Gunnarsson (After The Axe) and starring Gerard Butler (300), Stellan Skarsgard (Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End), Sarah Polley (Dawn Of The Dead) and Ingvar Eggert Sigurosson (K-19: The Widowmaker), BEOWULF AND GRENDEL tells the blood-soaked tale of a Norse warrior's battle against a giant, murderous troll that is part horror story and part legendary fable.
In the lead role of Beowulf, Gerard Butler is once again on top sword-wielding form as limbs are lopped and heads roll in the 'epic tale of retribution and revenge' (Palm Springs Desert Sun) that is BEOWULF AND GRENDEL.
BEOWULF AND GRENDEL (cert. 15) will be released on DVD (£17.99) by Starz Home Entertainment on 24th December 2007.
