Washington
(ANI):
Sir
Anthony
Hopkins
has
revealed
that
he
signed
on
to
star
in
the
movie
Beowulf
without
reading
its
script.
He
even
had
not
read
the
English
poem
on
which
the
movie
is
based,
reveals
the
actor.
All
that
Hopkins
did
before
concluding
the
film
deal
with
the
producers
was
to
read
his
own
lines.
"I
never
read
the
book.
The
script
is
good
but
I
have
to
admit
I
only
read
part
of
it
-
I
only
read
my
part," Contactmusic
quoted
him
as
saying.
Meanwhile,
there
are
reports
that
Hopkins
is
all
set
to
play
the
role
of
late
film
director
Alfred
Hitchcock
in
a
new
biopic.
He
insists
that
he
is
the
real
fan
of
Hitchcock"s
movies,
and
considers
himself
to
be
the
right
person
to
enact
his
role.
