Russell Crowe's new Australian mixed martial arts film Beast sees the Oscar winner not only starring but also co-writing the script and mentoring cast members. The film features Luke Hemsworth, Daniel McPherson, former NRL player George Burgess, and singer Amy Shark in her debut acting role. McPherson trained for three years for the role and sustained injuries including a broken nose and torn muscles during filming, particularly from contact with George Burgess.
