Deadline reports that Renny Harlin will direct The Beast, starring Samuel L. Jackson. In fact, Harlin is already halfway through the eight-week shoot in Madrid and Spain’s Canary Islands, and he wasn’t even the original director. James Madigan, second unit director on The Meg, was previously set to helm the action flick. No reason was given for his exit.
The Beast refers to the Presidential limousine, which is an impenetrable tank stocked with grenades, shotguns, armour plating, and bullet-and-bombproofing. In addition to Jackson, The Beast also stars Joel Kinnaman (Suicide Squad) and Guy Burnett (Oppenheimer). “When a militia of unidentified hostiles coordinates a coup against the U.S. presidency, the President (Jackson) uncovers the extent of The Beast’s highly classified offensive capabilities,” reads the synopsis of The Beast. “Separated from his wife, the President must learn to control The Beast — and the monster inside himself — in order to save his life, the life of Secret Service agent Taft (Kinnaman), and America.“
In a statement, Harlin said: “Sam is not just one of those screen icons, but also a dear friend, and joining forces for another action extravaganza has me inspired beyond belief. Joel Kinnaman is another magnetic talent and a good friend as well. Once in a while a new writer with a fresh voice comes along and Umair Aleem has given us a script bursting with original action, and characters who draw from a deep well of emotions. I know that this team is up to something truly special and ready to unleash The Beast.” Harlin memorably directed Jackson in Deep Blue Sea, one of my favourite shark movies.
Producer Keith Kjarval added, “Having been a fan of Renny’s classic films as far back as I can remember and now helping him reteam with Sam Jackson — who together created numerous audience pleasers — and then adding the stunning artist that is Joel Kinnaman, I have no doubt this film will become yet another classic from this duo.“
Harlin most recently directed The Strangers: Chapter 1 and is on post on Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of the slasher trilogy. We don’t know exactly when the second installment will drop, but a teaser trailer released last month said it was coming soon.

Ghostface arrives in Mortal Kombat 1 later this month. The iconic killer from the Scream films is a bit of a horror movie oddball as each one has been a different person, often working with others. And that’s true in Mortal Kombat 1, too. Plus two of the killers are actually mysterious Mortal Kombat characters.

Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica), Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), Jeremy Piven (Entourage), Nick Wechsler (The Boys), Anthony Ingruber (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny), Aaron Glenane (Danger Close), Carlos Sanson Jr (Legacies), Ana Thu Nguyen (Mortal Kombat 2), Adolphus Waylee (Nautilus), Richard Brancatisano (The Messenger), Marcus Johnson (Talk to Me), and Jake Ryan (Savage, Underbelly) star in writer/director Luke Sparke’s upcoming sci-fi horror film Primitive War – and while we don’t have a release date for this one just yet, a featurette has just arrived online to give us a behind-the-scenes look at the making of it. You can check that out in the embed above.
An adaptation of Ethan Pettus’ sci-fi military book series, Primitive War is set during the Vietnam War and features American soldiers facing off with dinosaurs! The story follows an elite recon unit known as the Vulture Squad. In 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War they are sent to an isolated jungle valley to uncover the fate of a missing Green Beret platoon. They soon discover they are not alone. Dinosaurs have been let loose in the jungles.
Sparke is producing Primitive War under his Sparke Films banner, alongside producers Carmel Imrie and Carly Sparke, executive producer Geoff Imrie, and co-producer Alex Becconsall. The writer/director/producer had this to say about the project (which is said to blend action with survival-horror and war themes) when it was first announced: “This ain’t no walk in the park. I was captivated by the imagery surrounding Ethan’s book and the story it told. I’ve worked hard on capturing that essence but also the grittiness, horror aspects and military edge. My vision is to feel like the characters have walked out of the film Platoon and into the jaws of the greatest predators the planet has ever known.“
Pettus added, “I’m thrilled to see Luke’s interpretation of my work. I know his team is giving this project everything they’ve got.“
I haven’t read the books by Ethan Pettus, but Vietnam soldiers taking on dinosaurs sounds like the makings of an awesome movie to me. I’m looking forward to seeing how this one is going to turn out.
