South African actor Sharlto Copley, star of District 9, Elysium, Chappie, and Hardcore, is joining Idris Elba (Prometheus) in the Universal survival thriller Beast, in which Elba battles a massive lion.
“Elba stars as Dr. Nate Samuels, a recently widowed husband who returns to South Africa, where he first met his wife, on a long-planned trip with their teenage daughters to a game reserve managed by an old family friend and wildlife biologist. But what begins as a journey of healing jolts into a fearsome fight for survival when a rogue lion, a survivor of blood-thirsty poachers who now sees all humans as the enemy, begins stalking them.”
Copley co-stars as Nate Samuels’ old friend, Martin Battles. Iyana Halley (The Hate U Give, “This Is Us” series) plays Samuels’ 18-year-old daughter, Meredith, and Leah Sava Jeffries (“Rel”, “Empire”) plays his 13-year-old, Norah, adds Deadline.
“Beast, directed by Baltasar Kormákur, will be filmed entirely in South Africa during a 10-week shoot in the rural provinces of Limpopo and Northern Cape and in the city of Cape Town.”
Beast hits cinemas on August 19, 2022.
