Very little can be officially said early on with Tyler Atkins’s new MMA drama, The Beast In Me, save for what’s available now via Instagram. Thanks to actors Daniel MacPherson (Land Of Bad) and Bren Foster (Life After Fighting), we now have a brief look behind-the-scenes showcasing the looks of their characters in the film, including a polaroid of a bruised MacPherson which you can see in the first slide of his most recent Instagram post from over the weekend.
The post comes a few weeks after Foster also teased his role in a seperate post hinting with the caption reading in part “New hair, new character, new movie, new fights!!…”. Filming took place over the weekend set against the backdrop of an event at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, as announced last Fall.
Atkins directs a cast led by MacPherson, Foster, and Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator), from a script by David Frigerio, who is also producing. MacPherson plays the role of an out-of-work former MMA fighter who suffers a personal tragedy involving his brother. With the help of a veteran trainer, played by Crowe, he sets out to avenge his brother by coming out of retirement to compete in ONE Championship.
Tim O’Hair and John Schwarz are also producing, with Shane Abbess and Brett Thornquest exec producing.
