I'll probably be the only person to vote for animated Angelina, but here's why: I love bad girls. Always have, always will. I love chicks with a little hint of malice and anger, and even though I don't miss crazy Billy Bob Thornton huggin' Angelina, there is a part of me that really misses her.

That was truly an awesome trailer. I'm wondering if Beowulf will be another Troy in terms of adherence to the mythology.

i fell in love with this story through another fantastic adaptation - the xena trilogy of the ring.

but an animated angelina who is naked most of the film? YOWZA.

this film looks fantastic...i can't wait to see it.

as per your question...i still think the real deal is who i'd wanna be surrendering my life to...although the animated version of angie has a real kick to it.

ANIlina is hot and all, but still pales in comparison to the real deal.  Movie looks like it's going to be great though.

read somewhere it will be in IMAX? I was a weird southern kid that loved Brit-lit (now my southern brain is putting a c in that word and distracting me as usual) as much as my southern lit. Beowulf is awesome to adapt to CGI. I see CGI as fine art akin to what B/W photography has always been. CGI just bumps up the surreal visuals and isolates action into an otherworldy state for the viewer. A lot has evolved since Tron, aye?  And, well, altered-AJ in this fantastical realm is amazing.

i just wanna know, why in the hell would you make a cgi movie that looks like a live-action movie? seems just like a waste of time and money to me. i'd have seen the movie if it was live-action....

just asking.

live-action angelina will ALWAYS be hotter.

I LOVE the Seamus Heaney translation.  Have you ever heard him read it in the Old English and then in his translation?

okay, so maybe i'm just a geek cinephile but it totally looks like cgi to me - it's the lack of emotion in the eyes, the stiff appendages and the rubberized body motions that give it away so easily.

however, that said, the technology has come a long way and it still looks pretty darn fantastico.

Ok maybe because it is Friday afternoon or something but after watching that trailer all I could do was try to figure out how a new 65 inch plasma tv would fit into the budget and the living room.

I rather have the real one.

yeshhh..excuse me,can i order one angie for me? yeah..the real one.yeah..i'm not kidding.nyahahahaha...

Though the animated really looks like the real her;)

-they say the eyes are the window to the soul...-

The future application of this is bringing back long dead or aged actors for sequels and remakes, without casting people that only vaguely resemble the original. I agree that it makes little sense for them to do well known actors at this point in timefor this movie, but think of continuing things like Firefly, without haveing to round up all the actors again, or if someone were to die, just flat out replacing them.

Okay, we're definitely going to see this.

It's crazy that all of this is freakin' computer animated!  o_O

Can't wait!

..besides, I'll try anything once, within reason, can't help but notice that she's still trying to flog that weird ass accent from Alexander..

I don't know why, but when I read the blog and saw the top picture for the first time my first thought was "ugh, creepy"

I never thought I would say that about Angelina but there's just something about the pic that creeps me out.  I'm weird I know.

I just saw this film and overall it was pretty good.  "ANIlina" (good one RuggedAscent) is hot, but I think real-life Angie is still sexier.
