There are many motion pictures the place a person will get trapped in a battle for survival with a pure menace. And there are even just a few motion pictures the place males battle lions. (The Ghost and the Darkness, anybody?) However I’m undecided there’s ever been a film the place a man actually fought a lion — punched him proper within the mouth! — earlier than. In order that, if nothing else, makes Beast distinctive.
The upcoming summer season thriller stars Idris Elba in what in any other case seems like a really grounded survival thriller a few dude caught within the African wilderness, the place he and his household is stalked by a man-eating lion. Many of the film is Elba’s character making an attempt to drive or run away from the beast. Within the trailer’s final seconds, although, Elba seems to get right into a one-on-one, mano-a-pawo rumble with the dang jungle cat. Then he smacks it within the face!
There’s now a brand new that means for the time period “pure cinema”: Idris Elba punching lions within the face. Have a look for your self:
Right here is the movie’s official synopsis:
Elba performs Dr. Nate Daniels, a just lately widowed husband who returns to South Africa, the place he first met his spouse, on a long-planned journey with their daughters to a sport reserve managed by Martin Battles (Sharlto Copley, Russian Doll sequence, Maleficent), an outdated household buddy and wildlife biologist. However what begins as a journey of therapeutic jolts right into a fearsome battle for survival when a lion, a survivor of blood-thirsty poachers who now sees all people because the enemy, begins stalking them.
I hate when a journey of therapeutic ends with me punching a lion within the face! Beast is scheduled to open completely in theaters on August 19.
