The Art of Beowulf -- This fall, Academy Award®-winning and groundbreaking director Robert Zemeckis offers a vision of the ancient epic poem "Beowulf" that has never been seen before. Actors Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie, John Malkevich, and Robin Wright Penn bring to life this macabre dark ages tale. Fans of the intense, action-packed film will relish this extraordinary hardcover packed with lavish concept art from production designer Doug Chiang's revered studio (responsible for the design of Robota, Star Wars, Episode I, and War of the Worlds). Quotes from the production designers, artists, actors, and filmmakers complete this stunning homage to the genesis and visual execution of a unique motion picture.
