Hugh Grant Stars in Psychological Thriller Heretic

Daniel Craig revealed his surprising cameo as a stormtrooper in The Force Awakens, which turned out to involve more work than he anticipated, including a three-hour recording session. Craig's cameo has become a beloved trivia piece among fans, highlighting the tradition of celebrity appearances in the Star Wars franchise. Meanwhile, Hugh Grant's performance in the upcoming film Heretic has garnered acclaim for showcasing a darker side of the actor, who plays a sinister character named Mr. Reed. The film, directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, explores complex theological themes through a horror lens as two Mormon missionaries find themselves ensnared in a psychological game with Reed. The filmmakers spent nearly a decade researching various religions to accurately portray Reed's character, emphasizing the importance of digestible theological debates within the narrative. As a fun fact, Grant humorously shared that he has never seen a Star Wars movie, despite his connection to the franchise through Craig's cameo.
