Check out the plot synopsis of The Dwarf, the upcoming period action drama movie directed by Brad Anderson based on a script he co-wrote with Lyn Vaus:

Plot synopsis:
“The story is set during the Renaissance. A Machiavellian dwarf (Peter Dinklage) begins advising the prince (Alexander Skarsgaard) he serves, and gradually brings out the worst in him, nearly reducing an entire city to ruins.”

So far the cast includes Peter Dinklage and Alexander Skarsgaard.

The film has yet to get an official release date.

Stay tuned with us for more details about the movie The Dwarf.

Update – I spotted another plot synopsis with additional plot details:

Plot synopsis:
“The film is about a fearless man who proves his mettle and earns the trust of a prince after he conquers an all-time wrestling champion in a contest. Once he has jockeyed for position next to the seat of power, the dwarf pledges his undying loyalty and resorts to assassinations and subterfuge in his merciless quest to protect his new master.”
