Sometimes the rustle in the bushes actually is a monster.

Idris Elba (Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, The Suicide Squad) stars in a pulse-pounding new thriller about a father and his two teenage daughters who find themselves hunted by a massive rogue lion intent on proving that the savannah has but one apex predator.

Elba plays Dr. Nate Daniels, a recently widowed husband who returns to South Africa, where he first met his wife, on a long-planned trip with their daughters to a game reserve managed by Martin Battles (Sharlto Copley, Russian Doll series, Maleficent), an old family friend and wildlife biologist. But what begins as a journey of healing jolts into a fearsome fight for survival when a lion, a survivor of blood-thirsty poachers who now sees all humans as the enemy, begins stalking them.

Iyana Halley (The Hate U Give, This is Us series) plays Daniels’ 18-year-old daughter, Meredith, and Leah Sava Jeffries (Rel series, Empire series) plays his 13-year-old, Norah.

From visceral, experiential filmmaker Baltasar Kormákur, the director of Everest and Universal Pictures’ 2 Guns and Contraband, Beast is produced by Will Packer, the blockbuster producer of Girls Trip, the Ride Along franchise, and ten movies that have opened No. 1 at the U.S. box office, including Night School, No Good Deed and Think Like a Man, by James Lopez, president of Will Packer Productions, and by Baltasar Kormákur. The film is written by Ryan Engle (Rampage, Non-Stop) from an original story by Jaime Primak Sullivan and is executive produced by Jaime Primak Sullivan and Bernard Bellew.

This looks great, I’ve seen this Lion in many different films. He’s really great at what he does and you can tell he loves to act. One day he’s going to be an academy award winner, I just know it. Such an amazing actor.

[echolot]

just happy to see sharlto copley out and about, dude needs to make more movies

[Film_edits_]

This looks good, I love Idris Elba I just hope the cgi isn’t bad for the lion because most movies I’ve seen with lions trying to kill someone don’t look great 😅

[hamporpabor]

Wasn't going to click on this, as I thought it was just gonna be another action fanfare with Idris Elba, so glad I did. He's got some really interesting movies coming out soon. Three Thousand Years of Longing and this. It reminds me of The Ghost and the Darkness with Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas. Can't wait!

[jvonte]

After watching this trailer all I wanna hear in future trailers is De De De De De De De De De De. Whosever idea that was to add that just made it more intense. Hope it’s in the movie as well.

Thalapathy "Vijay" as Lion!!

[Razsor]

Getting major The Ghost and the Darkness vibes from it… Ima go see it cause 1) It looks good, imo 2) I can’t remember the last time I saw a decent horror movie about lions

[lorenzo]

I'm 15 but ever since I was like 5, lions have been my favorite animal. So if I go watch this movie I'm not gonna be scared, I'm just gonna be in awe of the lion and be like "sheeesh he's awesome"

[oneytemple]

Jaws vibes for sure but the team up of Idris Elba and Sharlto Copley is solid casting.

[TEXASBornInGraduatedIn]

This movie looks almost like that other lion movie, “PREY”.

[rogerchapman]

I get a Ghost in the Darkness vibe from this! 🔥🔥🔥

[domcagney]

I was hoping they’d make a better Ghost and the Darkness…this looks a little different but definitely inspired. I’m into it

[HitmanEvz]

Lion version of Deep Blue Sea, fingers crossed 👌

[nathanjewett]

Ghost and the Darkness meets Cujo as a lion. Got it.

[mohamedm]

I won't miss this BEAST.. Could be way more better than Tamil beast

[rufarojunior]

Awesome and I can’t wait for this movie

[keemyfoke]

this reminds me of Ghost of the Darkness. I love it

[aaskyline]

Such a film should go to fund lions in Africa, and save them

[lesley]

It's a Lion doing what its supposed to.

[Mikusan]

It definitely gives me ghost in the darkness vibes and I love it
