Directed by Baltasar Kormákur (Everest), Beast stars Idris Elba as a father battling to
protect his daughters as a rogue lion stalks the family on a South African
game reserve.
Sharlto Copley, Iyana Halley and Leah Sava Jeffries also

Beast is in UK/ROI cinemas from August 26th.
Check out the first trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
Idris 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.
