Trailer: Crowe, MacPherson In MMA Film “Beast”

Lionsgate has premiered the full trailer for the sports action drama “Beast” which opens in cinemas on April 10th.

After years away from the cage, a once-feared MMA champion named Patton James (played by Strike Back’s Daniel MacPherson) is pulled back in for the fight of his life when his younger brother is put in danger.

Reuniting with the trainer who once made him a legend, he commits to one final showdown against the reigning title-holder – a brutal fighter determined to dismantle the ex-champ’s legacy in front of the world.

The film is packed to the gills with a heavily Australian cast, including Oscar winner Russell Crowe, MacPherson, Luke Hemsworth, Bren Foster, Mojean Aria, Amy Shark and Kelly Gale, along with nine-time world champion martial artist, Bren Foster.

Tyler Atkins (“Ocean Boy”) with David Frigerio (“Land Of Bad”) writing the screenplay. John Schwarz, Frigerio, Michael Schwarz, and Tim O’Hair produce.
