Universal has unleashed the official trailer for the survival thriller Beast [BEAS1]. Idris Elba [IELBA] stars as a father with two teenage daughters who find themselves hunted by a lion in the African savannah. Beast opens in theaters on August 19th.
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), 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.
