    Nate makes the trip with his teenage daughters to a game reserve managed by an old family friend. The leisure outing becomes a fight for survival when a rogue lion (a survivor of blood-thirsty poachers) who views all humans as foes begins to stalk them.

    Beast will be directed by Baltasar Kormakur in a collaborative effort with South African production companies Known Associates Entertainment (KAE) and South Africa's Department of Trade Industry and Competition (DTIC).

    The movie is slated for release on August 19, 2022.
