Samuel L. Jackson is gleefully blowing stuff up in full trailer for The Beast
The actor is coming out guns blazing, literally, as the fictional President of the United States.
In the latest trailer for director Renny Harlin's upcoming action-thriller, The Beast, Samuel L. Jackson is seen at his best. The film sees Jackson playing the role of the President of the United States, who must protect himself and his Secret Service agent after falling victim to an unexpected attack. The only means of defense he has are his injured agent, Joel Kinnaman, and his heavily armored vehicle, The Beast.
The synopsis for the movie states, "When a militia of unidentified hostiles coordinates a coup against the U.S., the president is forced to drive the presidential limousine and unlock the full extent of The Beast's highly classified offensive capabilities to save his injured Secret Service agent, reunite with his wife, and save the world."
Jackson's portrayal of the President is far from ordinary, with the actor showcasing his signature no-nonsense attitude, combined with comedic timing and a talent for using profanity. In the trailer, President Jackson is heard shouting, "Nothing about this is standard," as he demonstrates his willingness to employ the vehicle's miniguns, consume alcohol while driving, and even take matters into his own hands by engaging enemies directly.
The highly anticipated film, The Beast, is set to release in theaters on October 9, promising audiences a thrilling ride with Samuel L. Jackson in full action-hero form.
