Idris Elba Interview: Why He’d Team with Kate Winslet to Battle a Rogue Lion

We’ve seen Idris Elba in quite a few perilous situations on the big screen, but his latest film, Beast, promises something unique story-wise and also when it comes to the behind-the-scenes wizardry necessary to make it work. Elba leads the film as Dr. Nate Samuels. He’s a recently widowed man eager to heal so travels to the place where he and his wife first met, South Africa. Along with his two daughters (Iyana Halley and Leah Jeffries), Nate meets up with an old family friend (Sharlto Copley) who’s also a game reserve manager. While out exploring the region, the group encounters a dangerous anomaly, a rogue lion hellbent on killing the beings that slaughtered his pride — humans. With Beast making its way into theaters on August 19th, I got to chat with Elba about his experience bringing the story to screen. #beast #idriselba #movie For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
