IN HIS NEW FILM, “Beast,” Idris Elba plays a father who brings
his teenage daughters to the South African village where their
late mother was raised. The movie quickly becomes a thriller
with the entrance of a vengeful, hungry lion. If the idea of a
blockbuster that foregrounds the terror brought about by a
hostile apex predator feels familiar, that’s intentional. Mr.
Elba says the team behind “Beast” took “the temperature of why
‘Jaws’ works” into account while making their film. “We wanted
to make something that resonates and [becomes] a classic.”
The result has the heart of a family road-trip film. While
sheltering from the lion in a car, the three process their loss.
Mr. Elba, 49, is no stranger to the family road trip—as
terrifying for some fathers as sharks. But the English actor
says none he’s taken with his two children have inspired him to
pick up a tranquilizer gun. “I don’t mind a road trip, man. I
like driving.”
