Kurt Sutter who created ‘Sons Of Anarchy’ is all set to make his feature directorial début with Netflix’s upcoming feature film ‘The Beast’. Sutter will not only direct but also write and produce the film whose idea was inspired by The Beast of Gévaudan, a true story about a mysterious beast that terrorized a French village in the 1760s.
As per Netflix, the official logline of ‘The Beast’ reads, “An 18th century English village is besieged by a mysterious and elusive beast. Dozens of innocents are slaughtered and the mayhem is driven to puritanical heights by religious fanaticism. The impossible task of killing the beast falls to a lowly trapper who promises he can stop the carnage. But for him this hunt is not a professional mission, it’s a deeply personal one.”
Blumhouse’s Jason Blum and Paper Picture’s Carla Hacken will produce ‘The Beast’ for Netflix. It will be executive produced by Blumhouse Television’s Chris McCumber and Jeremy Gold.
Talking about the film Kurt Sutter (‘Sons of Anarchy’, ‘Southpaw’) said, “Bringing my disturbing, familial story sensibility into the Blumhouse world just seemed like something that had to happen. And This Beast is the perfect project for that marriage. And Netflix is the perfect venue for that bloody ceremony.”
Details about the cast, crew and the release date of ‘The Beast’ is yet to be revealed by Netflix.
