Grendel will be based on John Gardner’s critically acclaimed novel of the same name, and it retells the epic poem Beowulf from the perspective of Grendel, the giant monster at its heart. He’s usually represented as a giant and a destroyer and devourer of humankind.

Robert D. Krzykowski will be in charge of directing this film, and he was drawn to it because it represents everything he loves about the movies.

“John Gardner’s mad masterpiece cleverly tackles what it is to be human through the wild-eyed lens of a monster. It’s an honor to work with such a remarkable group of storytellers, all of whom seek to bring something wonderful and unexpected to audiences now,” Krzykowski said in a statement.

The Oscar-winning actor Jeff Bridges will be in charge of leading this project, and he’ll be in pretty good company. The supporting cast of Grendel will include Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) as Beowulf, Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) as King Hrothgar, Sam Elliott (A Star is Born) as the Dragon, Thomasin McKenzie (Last Night in Soho) as Queen Wealhtheow, Aidan Turner (The Hobbit) as Unferth, and musician T Bone Burnett as the Shaper.
