UPI: Netflix said it plans to release the film “Beasts of No Nation” in theaters and online later this year. Written and directed by “True Detective’s” Cary Fukunaga, the drama stars Idris Elba. It is based on the acclaimed novel by Nigerian author Uzodinma Iweala and tells the story of a child soldier torn from his family to fight in the civil war of an African country. “Beasts” is “a powerful film,” said Netflix content chief Ted Sarandos. “We are so proud to bring a film of this caliber exclusively to Netflix members around the world at the same time as it appears in select theaters.”
