No animals were harmed in the making of Roar, but 70 members of the cast and crew may have been.
Remember those photos of teenage Melanie Griffith and her family's pet lion?

Well, Griffith, her mother Tippi Hedren (of Marnie and The Birds), and her stepfather Noel Marshall (producer of The Exorcist) didn't just live with lions, they also made one of the most notorious animal movies of all time, 1981's Roar.

In April, Roar is being re-released and BuzzFeed has the exclusive trailer:

Marshall, who wrote and directed the movie, stars as Hank, a preservationist whose family — played by Hedren, Griffith, and Marshall's two sons — visits him in Africa.
Just your typical front porch scene. Not terrifying at all.
