Remember the GIF of director Noel Marshall almost getting his head devoured by a lion? Well, that comes from the movie Roar and we now have a trailer for Drafthouse Films’ insane lion-infested film. Here’s the movie’s synopsis, thanks to Badass Digest:
An unprecedented and wholly unpredictable action-adventure, Roar follows wildlife preservationist Hank (Marshall), who lives harmoniously alongside a menagerie of untamed animals, including cheetahs, elephants, lions and tigers on a preservation in the African plains. When his wife and children arrive for a visit, a long-brewing battle for dominance between two lions erupts and threatens their very lives.
For the full story of the 11-year journey, Marshall (executive producer of The Exorcist) and his wife, Tippi Hedren (The Birds), took to get this dangerous “brainsick” movie made, check out this insightful essay written by Alamo Drafthouse CEO Tim League.
Roar will be heading to theaters for a limited engagement on April 17th. Remember, no animals were harmed in the making of this film. 70 members of the cast and crew were.
