Daniel MacPherson Talks Upcoming MMA Storyline on Local 10 Show
A mixed‑martial arts drama titled Beast premiered in U.S. cinemas on Friday, April 20, 2026. The film was released after a three‑year production period that faced several setbacks.
The story centers on Patton James, a commercial fisherman who had stepped away from professional fighting. When his brother confronts legal trouble, James is drawn back into the sport. Daniel MacPherson portrays James, delivering a performance noted for its intensity.
The production features Oscar‑winning actor Russell Crowe, who co‑authored the screenplay and plays Sammy, a trainer eager to see James succeed. Footage was shot on location in Sydney and captured live events in Bangkok, aiming to provide a realistic depiction of combat sports.
Beast was covered by local news anchor Jason Carter, who interviewed the lead actor during a segment aired on the same day. The film’s release is now complete and the storyline continues to receive attention from fans and critics alike.
