Hugh Grant is reportedly in talks tp feature in the upcoming horror film titled Heretic, directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the duo who also wrote the script. Grant's involvement comes after the success of his fantasy movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, released by Paramount/eOne.
The film Heretic will be directed by Scott Beck and Bryan

women of faith who find themselves embroiled in a cat-and-mouse game within
the residence of an eccentric man. As of now, there is no information
available about the film's producers.

Jerry Seinfeld's directorial debut Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story and Warner
Bros' Wonka, a prequel to the Willy Wonka story, headlined by Timothée
Chalamet. Surprisingly, Grant will portray the iconic Oompa Loompa character
in the latter.
Beck and Woods rose to prominence with their
horror screenplay A Quiet Place, which was later directed by John Krasinski
and earned over $340M worldwide. They served as executive producers on the
film, which has since expanded into a successful franchise.
Additionally,
the duo wrote, directed, and produced the sci-fi action thriller 65 for
Sony. Their most recent contribution includes executive producing and
writing for 20th's Stephen King adaptation The Boogeyman, which is currently
in theaters.
