hollywood actor idris elba is in east london for his new film "beast".a career that has spanned almost every genre. and, he's been speaking to our reporter, michael mckenzie, about what might come next. what's that? there's something crossing up ahead. it's an action—packed movie set in the bush of south africa, and stars londoner idris elba. it tells the story of a family who find themselves face to face with a lion. it was filmed on location in south africa, in the bush, what was that like? south africa was great, i love working in south africa as a location, as a place, as a country, ijust, very, very have a lot of affection for it. this film needed to shoot in the wilderness, like even for us as a crew, it wasn't easy for us, we were out there. and for his producer will packer, living in the bush was quite an experience. i often second guessed that decision, my friend, when i was out deep in the bush, you know, trying to dodge poisonous snakes and hearing nomadic lions growl in the middle of the night, when we were in tents and huts. but you know wha

. >>> idris elba and his milestone >>> good morning, it is 8:26, i'm kris sanchez.ld us that the man who was shot died from his injuries. this happened a little after 11:00 last night on 84th avenue a couple of blocks from international plfd. so far police are not identifying the victim. we're waiting for notifying next of kin and there is no information on a suspect but this is the third deadly shooting since early saturday morning into let's talk to kari hall about the forecast. >> good morning and the sky is clearing across the bay area. it is going to be nice and cool, really pleasant afternoon compared to what we typically see for early august. in san jose, expect a high of 77 and 75 in fremont. we'll see some low 80s in livermore and 78 in napa. while santa rosa will head for 81 degrees with sunshine. it is going to be the coolest day of the week, take a look at the rest of the week for our inland areas. gradually warming up a few degrees each day but temperatures peaking on friday. san francisco will continue to see the clouds and highs in the upper 60s. >> t

so it's not a popcorn thriller in the old fashioned sense, but idris elba was very good and he plays a kind of everyman hero. this isn't the kind of heroic kind of story about a man who's going to save his family by turning into a total action hero. he's he looks visibly scared, which seems a bit more realistic. and yes, it does. it looks very beautiful as well as these films do when they're shot somewhere like that. next, the french film her way. now it's a cert 18. so that might give us a bit of a clue. yeah, i'll tell you why in a second. it starts off, it's more like a traditional drama. it's about a woman who's trying to help her young son. he's a teenager. he wants to go to a very expensive chef school. she can't really afford to send him there. one of the reasons for that is that she's a prostitute. so she's a sex worker, she's self—employed. she pays her taxes. but the trouble is, there are a lot of problems that obviously come along with that in terms of legal issues and trying to get a loan. so it's the story of one woman who happens to have an unusualjob trying to look aft

it stars tilda swinton and idris elba. it would be hard to make about them without casket you saw it in may, what did you think? >> i think 3000 years is an acceptable timeframe for a narrative arc, so long as the movie itself does not feel as if it lasts that long. and we are in luck because the director is australia's george miller, who brought us mad max films and they are the polar opposite. miller and his daughter adopted this from a story called the djinn in the ip to -- in the eye. it would've taken me 3000 years to forgive my parents had they named me that. a scholar who is contempt -- content living and traveling on her own peer she buys a souvenir in instant bolt which turns out to contain a genie. who offers three wishes in exchange or his freedom. alethea is a storyteller who tells stories about stories. telling us that is roughly the equivalent of showing a gun at the start of the movie, you expect it to be used at some point. sure enough, stories about stories are in ample supply. >> ok, this is an epic tale,
