Exploring 'Heretic': Hugh Grant's Dark Turn and the Film's Box Office Success

In "Heretic," directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, Hugh Grant plays the complex role of Mr. Reed, a man who traps two Mormon missionaries in his home. Known for his romantic comedies, Grant's performance in "Cloud Atlas" inspired the directors to cast him for his ability to switch between charming and villainous. The film explores deep religious themes, and Grant's meticulous preparation involved extensive discussions with the directors. Beck and Woods aim to create more films like "Heretic" that delve into religion and existential questions, offering a foundation for conversation.
