The film tells “the tale of the legendary monster at the heart of the Beowulf epic poem who steps forth to tell his side of this riveting story,” according to The Hollywood Reporter’s description. Krzykowski also wrote the script for Grendel and serves as a producer alongside Brian Henson and Vince Raisa for The Jim Henson Company, Jay Glazer, Dennis Berardi, and Jon D. Wagner. Bridges, John Sayles, Tamara Birkemoe, and Joe Jenckes of Ashland Hill Media Finance all serve as executive producers.
“Grendel represents everything I love about the movies. John Gardner’s mad masterpiece cleverly tackles what it is to be human through the wild-eyed lens of a monster,” Krzykowski said. “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.”
Grendel will be Krzykowski’s second feature film following 2018’s The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot, which also starred Elliott and Turner.Brandon Schreur has been writing about comics, movies, television shows, and all things pop culture for roughly five years.
