BeastMovie director Baltasar Kormákur explains how BradPitt in 'Snatch' influenced his rogue lion.
Director Baltasar Kormákur plowed through a mound of production challenges while making Beast. The film wasn’t shot on a sound stage, but rather in South Africa, right smack in the middle of real environments. While there, they went above and beyond to do what was necessary to bring a very impressive-looking VFX lion to screen.
With Beast now playing in theaters nationwide, I got the chance to chat with Kormákur about tackling the myriad of challenges this production posed, beginning with those complicated oners. Why were oners the best way to tell this story? Kormákur explained: Not only was Kormákur creating that point-of-view with top-notch talent in front of the lens, but he also had Academy Award-winning cinematographer Philippe Rousselot behind it.
