Angelina Jolie will star in "Beowulf,"

Hollywood Star Angelina Jolie will star in "Beowulf," a film based on an old story in which a Scandinavian hero Beowulf fights fierce battles to defeat a man-eating monster called Grendel. The signing of the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider actress brings unexpected glamour to the story writes Independent. The Robert Zemeckis directed movie also stars Ray Winstone as the Viking hero who saves his land from the clutches of the terrible monster Grendel ( Crispin Glover ). Along the way to becoming king, the great warrior is tempted to commit evil by Grendel's mother played by Angelina Jolie reports Sifty

"Beowulf" will use "performance-capture" technology, which transforms the actors into computer-animated versions of themselves.

Rounding out the cast are Anthony Hopkins, Robin Wright Penn, John Malkovich, Alison Lohman and Brendan Gleeson.

"Beowulf" is slated for a 2007 release, with Paramount Pictures handling domestic distribution, and Warner Bros. international reports Reuters. It will be co-financed by investor Steve Bing's Shangri-La banner, which funded half of the Warner-distributed "Polar Express."
