Didn't see her playing a mother that early in her career

Hollywood is making a big-screen version of Beowulf. And they just cast Angelina Jolie.

Since I only remember one female speaking part in the epic that makes it easy to guess who she's playing.

I'm sure David Weber would say she's perfect for the part.

Actually, I think she is not Grendel's mother but Beowulf's love interest.

I didn't realize what was Weber's beef with Jolie, since anybody who's seen SKY CAPTAIN seems to think she would make the perfect casting for HH. However, I think I can see his point. More the Gummint's dirty deed than hers really, but I'd be cranky too.
