A haunting retelling of the classic tale 'Beowulf' from the perspective of its iconic monster, 'Grendel', brought to life with an epic cast and Jim Henson's creature design mastery.
beat sheet
  • Acclaimed filmmaker Robert D. Krzykowski is adapting the 1971 John Gardner novel 'Grendel' into a live-action film, with a powerhouse cast including Jeff Bridges as the title monster, Bryan Cranston as King Hrothgar, and Dave Bautista as the warrior Beowulf.
  • The film will blend practical effects from Jim Henson's Creature Shop with a unique artistic vision, drawing inspiration from classic fantasy films like 'The Hobbit' and blending it with gritty, bone-crunching action sequences to create an 'unforgettable movie monster' on screen.
