Fans of combat sports, especially MMA, have plenty of reasons to celebrate. In April, more precisely on the 10th, cinemas around the world will screen the film 'Beast', which features Russell Crowe, Hollywood star and Oscar winner, as one of the protagonists. The trailer for the feature film was released on 'YouTube' last Thursday (19) and already has over 700 thousand views.
Interestingly, the film will not be based on the UFC, but rather on ONE Championship, an Asian company. In the feature film from the global production and distribution company 'LIONSGATE', Crowe plays the role of a veteran trainer. In addition to the renowned actor, the film also features Daniel MacPherson and Luke Hemsworth in prominent roles.
