Idris Elba will battle a hungry lion in the upcoming summer movie Beast, a survival thriller that Universal Pictures will be releasing into movie theaters on August 19, 2022.
Check out a first-look image below, shared by Fandango this morning. Idris Elba is bloody and battle damaged in this shot from Beast, clearly the work of a hungry predator…
Baltasar Kormákur (Everest, Adrift) directed Beast for Universal Pictures. Based on an idea by Jaime Primak-Sullivan, Ryan Engle (Rampage) wrote the script.
In Beast, “A recently widowed man (Idris Elba) and his two teenage daughters travel to a game reserve in South Africa. However, their journey of healing soon turns into a fight for survival when a bloodthirsty lion starts to stalk them”
The cast also includes Sharlto Copley (District 9), Iyana Halley, and Leah Sava Jeffries.
Producers include Primak-Sullivan, Kormákur, Will Packer and James Lopez.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
