Scandinavia
some 15 centuries ago
a bloodthirsty creature named Grendel
ravages the great mead hall of King Hrothgar.
Then,a champion arrives.

Beowulf prevails against Grendel;
but the great warrior faces an even greater challenge
from his foe's mother.

She appears to Beowulf
not as monster,
but as a beautiful
and seductive woman.
This one
of several significant elements
in the film script by Roger Avary
and Neil Gaiman
that are not exactly
in the famous epic poem.

"Both Roger and I
read Beowulf
 when we were young,
 did not know
that it was mean to be good for us,
 and experienced it
 as a story which we loved,"
explains Gaiman.
"It was filled with blood
and gore
and excitement and monster-fighting
and dragon-slaying.
 These are wonderful
, magical,
 exciting things
 to have in a story."

However,
screenwriter Gaiman maintains
that their additions
are true to the ancient tale
and its centuries
 of oral tradition,
long before
it was first written down
by a Christian monk
1,000 years ago.

"Any story that is part
of the oral tradition changes.
That's the whole point of the oral tradition:
it is told
.it is oral
.you sit there
and you tell your version
of it
 and if your audience seems to be getting into the Grendel fighting a bit,
 you're going to keep going with the Grendel fighting
and give them a little bit more,"
 "Maybe sometime you have an audience
of Thanes
who wanted a few women in there.
You're looking
 at a manuscript that was only recorded
for us by a monk
and you go 'okay,
 what did he leave out?'"

What went on in that cave
and the rest of the story
is visualized through the 'motion capture' technique
 that director Robert Zemeckis pioneered
 with his 2004 family feature The Polar Express.
The actors are fitted with electronic sensors
that record their every movement,
 from the motion of their eyes

 to the clenching of their fists,
as they play out their scenes on a bare stage.
Then animators use that
 captured motion to create digital characters against digital scenery.
 Englishman Ray Winstone,
 who portrays the warrior Beowulf
 says the technology allowed him
and his fellow performers
 to tap into the very basics of acting technique.

"Your imagination is starting work again because
you haven't got castles
 or dragons and such,
but you are performing.
 When you take all those elements away,
 you don't have to worry about special effects .
..there are none," Winstone says.
"You haven't got to worry about a ball of flame going up
 or anything like that,
so you are left naked
, just acting
with the people you are acting with
 and that is very freeing."

But co-star Angelina Jolie says being "left naked" came
as a bit of a surprise
when she saw
what the animators did with her portrayal of Grendel's mother.

"I was excited,"
Jolie says.
 "I got a call that I was going to be working with Bob Zemeckis
and then I was told I was going to be a lizard
and he showed me these pictures
of a woman half-painted gold
and then a lizard.
I've got kids
and I thought
'that's great [and] so bizarre;
 I'm going to be
this crazy reptilian person
and creature.'
 I was very excited.
 Then I saw the poster
 and saw a few other things
 and realized I'm not just a lizard.

"I didn't expect ourselves
to come out as much.
 I didn't expect it to feel as real,
" she continues.
 "So, especially because
of the type of character I play,
 it was kind of funny at first
 and then there were certain moments where I
actually felt shy.
I was really surprised
that I felt that exposed."

The Beowulf cast also features Sir Anthony Hopkins
as King Hrothgar.
 John Malkovich plays his advisor Unferth.
Robin Wright Penn is the queen;
 and Crispin Glover is the creature Grendel.
 The heroic tale is accompanied
by an appropriately heroic soundtrack
 by Alan Silvestri,
veteran film composer
and frequent collaborator with director Robert Zemeckis.
