Dark Horizons has a report from the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland where actor John Malkovich, one of the few living actors to have a movie named after them, talked about his upcoming projects including a possible role in Robert Zemeckis' animated epic Beowulf. Malkovich may be joining Robin Wright Penn and Anthony Hopkins in the film, which will use the same performance capture technique Zemeckis used in last year's The Polar Express with Tom Hanks.
According to Dark Horizons, Malkovich stated that his role would be that of "a sort of advisor to the King," and he added, "I don't have the newest script, which will be on my desk when I am back in France. It's not definitive [that Malkovich is in it]. But it is very likely."
