news: ubisoft expands revolutionary beowulf movie

scottrobinson18 says:

The classic English poem is not only getting a movie (with special Real D technology), but Ubisoft is expanding the experience with a video game tie-in. We speak with Ubisoft about working with Robert Zemeckis and Paramount Pictures and why Beowulf is a "dream convergence" project.

Ubisoft was on hand with Paramount Pictures and Shangri-La Entertainment at Comic-Con last night to debut the first footage from the film. The movie, which features the groundbreaking Real D technology that enables real actors to be transformed into 3D characters, stars Angelina Jolie as Grendel's mother, Crispin Glover as Grendel, Anthony Hopkins as King Hrothgar and Ray Winstone as Beowulf. The game will bow with the movie's November 16 release. The film, which will be available in multiple 3D formats including Real D, will open on 1,500 3D screens, making it the largest 3D movie debut in history. It will also be available in 2D at other theaters.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://biz.gamedaily.com/industry/feature/?id=16939&ncid=AOLGAM000500000000026"><P>
Salomon said gamers can expect the same level of Hollywood quality in this game as they experienced with hits like <I>Peter Jackson's King Kong</I>, which sold over 4.9 million copies worldwide, and <I>Open Season</I>, which sold 1.8 million units globally.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CF40AA89-D64B-47D4-80A7-3B19C13F8207/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
