Hugh Grant is doing an A24 horror film – and he plays a deranged villain
Hugh Grant is set to star in his first horror movie in over 30 years in the new A24 production Heretic – check out the creepy trailer below.The actor may have made his name in charming romantic comedies in the 1990s and 2000s, but later this year he will be taking on an altogether more menacing role.‘Heretic’ comes from Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, who created and wrote the original A Quiet Place film in 2018, and have since directed Haunt and 65.Watch the trailer for Heretic here:Grant plays Mr. Reed in the film, a seemingly harmless man who answers the door to two young Mormon missionaries, played by Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets, The Boogeyman) and Chloe East (The Fabelmans, True Blood).As the trailer shows, he invites the young women into his home on the pretence that his wife is in the kitchen.
