The Beowulf Trailer is Here

The trailer for Beowulf is out -- and the movie looks fantastic. Adapted by Roger Avery and Neil Gaiman from the ancient saga that many of us were forced to read in high school, this version of Beowulf is done in stop motion capture by director Robert Zemeckis. At Comic-con, a longer bit of the movie was played in which Angelina Jolie (as Grendel's mother) emerges naked from a pool of water and mightily temps the warrior Beowulf.

Johnny Depp Is Barnabas Collins

Photo of Johnny Depp Johnny Depp has signed to play the lead in the feature film of the hit TV series, Dark Shadows.
Warner Brothers is teaming with Depp's Infinitum-Nihil and Graham King's GK Films to develop the movie. Depp has said in interviews that he has always been obsessed with Dark Shadows and had, as a child, wanted to be Barnabas Collins, the vampire patriarch of the series. The role was originated by Jonathan Frid.

A rights deal just closed with the estate of Dan Curtis, the producer/director who created the soap, which aired weekdays on ABC from 1966 to 1971. Depp and King will produce with David Kennedy, who ran Dan Curtis Productions until Curtis died last year of a brain tumor. Infinitum-Nihil's Christi Dembrowski served as the point person on the deal.
Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins on the big screen? That works for us.
