Has there been any advance word on the Beowulf and Grendel movie coming out in March?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I saw it DCP. It's not very good. Period look, modern speech, and Grendel that will remind you of Jodie foster in Nell.

Bwah-Ha-Ha!
I remember watching Nell on a rather bizarro double date/non-date with a friend and two boys she knew (one of which she liked). Her date and I were hysterical about Nell, while she and the boy who was my date were genuinely moved. Good times.

Grendel that will remind you of Jodie foster in Nell.
So, Grendel mumbles about "Chicopee" a lot and hooks Liam Neeson up with Natasha Richardson, then?

Art Crawl!!!
Imelda Staunton is cast as DoDA teacher for the next Harry Potter movie!
She is going to be EXCELLENT. I can see that creepy overly sweetness right now.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oh! Imelda Staunton! I love her! She'll be great.
I continue to be amazed that they're actually making this movie.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oh, I recognize that actres who plays Bellatrix Lestrange. She's been in loads of British dramas. An excellent pick. The Tonks actress is new to me, although I've seen at least one flick she's been in ("About A Boy").
Imelda Staunton, of course, will be fabulous. JK Rowling sure is getting the cream of the Brit actor crop for the adaptation of her books, isn't she?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Last night, I watched a tiny britromcom that absolutely broke me. The Girl in the Cafe with Bill Nighy (who I adore) and Kelly Macdonald.
Written by the 4 Weddings and a Funeral and Love Actually guy. Deliciously well acted...Nighy was a study in shy ticks and angsty expressions...laugh out loud funny and incredibly educational about the Millenium Goals, G8 bureaucracy and world poverty. No. Really. It was a hoot.
And poignant with a capital POI.
Oh my, yes. Even DH, who watched it with me, with his head tilted and a "Buh?" expression on his face, had to admit that while he neverneverever would have willingly chosen to sit through it had he known what it was "about," the time wasn't wasted. Though he was still a little "Buh?" about it.
I kept, in the odd, fleeting nanoseconds when my attention lapsed, flashing on those two in State of Play, and on Macdonald in Two Family House, which was the first thing I ever saw her in. With Michael Rispoli, JLoey Jr. of While You Were Sleeping.
My mind, she is a frighteningly tangenty place.
ETA: and a sloppy typist, evidently.

Kelly McDonald is lovely. I think the first flick I've seen her in was Trainspotting, in which she does the nasty with Ewan McGreggor in Catholic schoolgirl uniform. Made an impression, she did.
Then she got to smooch the broodmeister Clive Owen in Gosford Park. And she's gonna be the love interest of Colin Firth in Nanny McPhee. OK, I'm a little bit jealous now.
