Trailers, TV spots, and a red band, oh my! Paramount isn't holding back on Beowulf, with a second trailer already available.
Beowulf TV Spot
In a legendary time of heroes, the mighty warrior Beowulf battles the demon Grendel and incurs the hellish wrath of the beast’s ruthlessly seductive mother. Their epic clash forges the timeless legend of Beowulf. Groundbreaking Oscar®-winning director Robert Zemeckis offers a unique vision of the Beowulf saga in a way that it has never been told before. Beowulf stars Ray Winstone in the title role and Anthony Hopkins as the corrupt King Hrothgar, as well as John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson, Crispin Glover, Alison Lohman and Angelina Jolie as Grendel’s mother. Neil Gaiman (the graphic novel Mirrormask, Sandman) & Oscar® winner Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction) have adapted the legend to the screen.
The second feature trailer for Beowulf comes packaged with even more footage and an introduction to some new characters. I don't know how much Paramount is looking to give away -- I guess they assume most have read the required-reading -- but they have no problem showing Beowulf deliver a genuine beatdown to Grendel. We also get to see some more dragon action, which is nice.
