Hugh Grant plays a strange and risky villain Hereticrecent A24 horror movie that debuted Last weekend, $11 million. And at one point in the film he makes an impression Star Wars the character of Jar-Jar Binks and people, this is the worst impression of a hated alien I’ve ever heard.
Heretica film about two juvenile women who quickly regret entering the house of Grant’s heroine, hit theaters on November 8 and has already become one of A24’s most profitable photosbeating movies like I saw the glow of the TV AND The love of lies bleeds in just a few days. Impressive stuff! A not-so-impressive moment in the film is when Hugh Grant’s character briefly takes on the role of Jar-Jar Binks.
November 12 IGN posted a clip from Heretic of Grant’s character talking about how in the future people will worship Jar-Jar Binks as a religious figure. The clip was later “borrowed” and Reposted by DiscussingFilm on Twitter, where the explosion occurred.
Jar-Jar first appeared in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 1999 and people hated it. The negative reaction and insults forced Jar-Jar actor Ahmed Best to almost commit suicide. But he has since recovered, has a wonderful family and is back home Star Wars How the evil Jedi who saved Grogu.
In any case, I have to imagine that Hugh Grant is aware of who Jar-Jar Binks is and has at least reviewed one video of the character speaking. So I’m assuming this terrible impersonation is intentional and an example of the character not knowing much about who Jar-Jar is, which could be an indication of how much he can be trusted.
Or maybe Grant did it, everyone on set stayed quiet, he took it as a sign of success and moved on, and no one had the heart to say it was wrong. Either way, I’d pay money to see Grant do more impersonations Star Wars writing. Give me your best Jabba or Yoda, dude.
Heretic is now available in cinemas. Don’t boo the screen when he happens to be impersonating Jar-Jar. All right?
