Jeff Bridges is Grendel, John Malkovich joins The Fantastic Four, and more casting news of the week

Andy Serkis has been cast as Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler in Oren Moverman’s The Man With The Miraculous Hands, which describes as a “WW2 psychological thriller.” Woody Harrelson has also been cast as Himmler’s masseuse, Felix Kersten. Here’s the synopsis: “As war rages all over Europe, and Himmler’s health declines while his authority grows, Kersten finds himself in a unique position to influence decision making on the highest level inside the Third Reich. Playing a very dangerous game that may cost him his life at every turn, and using his medical skills as a weapon, the doctor manages to influence Himmler, turn him against Hitler, and, in turn, save many thousands of lives.” [Emma Keates]
