Nov. 10 (UPI) -- Aura Entertainment announced the digital video-on-demand release date for The Beast on Tuesday. The film will be available on demand Tuesday, Nov. 17.

The Beast opened theatrically Oct. 9. Samuel L. Jackson stars as President Paladdin, who takes the wheel of his armed limousine during a terrorist attack. Joel Kinnaman stars as an injured Secret Service agent in the backseat. Renny Harlin directed Umair Aleem's script.

UPI praised The Beast in its review for celebrating the screen persona of Samuel L. Jackson, down to his specific trademark profanity.

Renny Harlin spoke with UPI about making the film. He filmed the driving scenes with a camera car and played the footage on LED screens while Jackson and Kinnaman filmed their limo scenes on a soundstage.
