Angelina Jolie Strips Down and Gets a Hit

Angelina Jolie has finally gotten a hit movie. "Beowulf," the motion capture film directed by Robert Zemeckis, looks like it will have a $27 million weekend. On Friday night it took in over $9 million and handily grabbed the top dollar spot from "American Gangster. "In the film, Angelina Jolie speaks with the same accent she had in "The Mighty Heart"—call it her foreign accent. But more importantly, she's naked!

In school, "Beowulf" — which used to be about a monster named Grendel — was the book you couldn't get people to read. But add in a naked Jolie — and voila! — serious literature is now ready for the mass audience. With this success, though, Zemeckis and Jolie might be interested in remaking more texts that have been abandoned over time. Are we ready for Proust or Homer in this fashion? Yes! As long as a naked Angelina Jolie is added to the mix!
