Movie Trivia/Goofs

  • According Ray Winstone, he and his fellow cast spent days filming in blue skintight suit, "showing up all your lumps and bumps in all the wrong places. Which can be hard when you're standing in front of Angelina Jolie, who looks stunning in hers."
  • Model Rachel Bernstein (uncredited) was the body double for Angelina Jolie in the film's nude scenes.
  • Movie Goof (anachronisms): Grendel and his mother say several phrases in Old English. Even though it is the language of the written version of the Beowulf poem, it is not the language spoken in the time and area where the action takes place (East Old Norse is more probable). There is also no justification for switching from Modern to Old English and back in the dialog.
  • Roger Avary had originally intended to direct. Robert Zemeckis' friend and partner Steve Bing, who produced The Polar Express, purchased the script for $2 million so Zemeckis could direct
