Jeff Bridges, Dave Bautista and Bryan Cranston are set to star in a new live action monster tale titled “Grendel.” The project comes from The Jim Henson Company and Palisades Park Pictures.
“Grendel” was adapted from John Gardner’s critically-acclaimed novel of the same name. Robert D. Krzykowski, who acquired the rights to the novel in 2020 with Jay Glazer, will direct the film.
The official synopsis reads: “Grendel is the tale of the legendary monster at the heart of the Beowulf epic poem who steps forth to tell his side of this riveting story.”
“’Grendel’ represents everything I love about the movies.
