Jeff Bridges, Bryan Cranston and Jim Henson's puppets are to star in this big-budget outing planned for next year - the script based on John Gardner's 1971 novel of the same name - rather than Beowulf, the 1000+ year old Anglo-Saxon epic.
To quote Collider: "Beowulf is one of the most significant works in the English language. It tells the story of the warrior Beowulf, who came to the aid of Danish king Hrothgar to battle the monstrous Grendel. After defeating Grendel, Beowulf must contend with Grendel's mother, and eventually returns to his homeland to become the king himself, before falling in battle with a dragon.
The tale of mother love is currently being shopped at Cannes.
