Hugh Grant is gearing up to showcase his acting chops in a whole new light as he takes on a sinister role in the upcoming horror movie titled "Heretic." The film, brought to you by the creators of the chilling hit franchise "A Quiet Place," promises to deliver a spine-tingling experience for viewers.
A departure from his usual roles
In "Heretic," Grant plays the antagonist in a psychological thriller that follows the story of two Mormon missionaries who find themselves trapped in a house with his character, Mr. Reed. As the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that there is more to Mr. Reed than meets the eye, setting the stage for a creepy cat-and-mouse game with the two young girls portrayed by Chloe East and Sophie Thatcher.
What to expect
With the first trailer offering a glimpse into the eerie world of "Heretic," audiences can anticipate a suspenseful and unnerving journey as the film delves into themes of faith, coercion, and the unknown. Set for a release in the US on November 15 and in the UK a week later, the movie is sure to leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
Return to a beloved character
While Grant's role in "Heretic" marks a significant departure from his usual on-screen persona, fans can also look forward to his reprisal of the iconic character Daniel Cleaver in the upcoming Bridget Jones movie, "Mad About The Boy." The new installment in the beloved series follows Bridget as she navigates life post the death of Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth, adding a new layer of complexity to her romantic entanglements.
