Cocaine Bear, A few days ago, browsing the Internet, I was surprised that my Twitter timeline had been filled with people talking about a drugged bear. Yeah, one chock full of cocaine which was the lead in the upcoming new movie Cocaine Bear. I don't know if the film's name or the promotional poster that accompanied it caught my attention more: an illustration of a bear whose silhouette is cleverly made with a white powder that imitates cocaine.
You can read the words "Cocaine Bear" and think you know what they mean. But you will only be truly prepared for what they imply once you've seen those words through the eyes of director Elizabeth Banks.
In 2023, one of the films with the most curious plot of recent times will be released: Cocaine Bear, a feature film directed by actress Elizabeth Banks (Scrubs, Modern Family, Virgin at 40) with the posthumous participation of actor Ray Liotta.
It is confirmed that Cocaine Bear, the movie about the black bear nicknamed by the EscoBear newspapers, will be released in theaters on February 23. In addition, the long-awaited film already has an official poster.
Cocaine Bear will be released in theaters on February 24, 2023. The movie will be available to stream on HBO Max 45 days after its theatrical release. The official trailer for Cocaine Bear, directed by Elizabeth Banks and inspired by a true story, is here. The film follows a black bear ready for the kill after accidentally taking large amounts of cocaine. The film will be released in theaters on February 24, 2023.
It's not a joke; Elizabeth Banks ('Charlie's Angels') is behind the direction of 'Vicious Bear,' which is the title of a new film based on true events about a bear that consumed around 30 kilos of cocaine when A drug dealer crashed his plane in a Kentucky woods. During the film, which will hit Spanish movie theaters in April 2023, this consumption causes the animal to become excessively violent and end the lives of all the people in its path.
Hollywood is preparing to see a very unusual movie. A bear high on cocaine will go berserk and start murdering left and right. It is madness and even more complete because it is based on real events. This is Cocaine Bear (Vicious Bear).
Currently, the number of tapes that claim to be based on "a true story" abound in the cinema and streaming platforms. And although many enjoy this kind of adaptation due to the extra elements that only cinema can provide to a story, some versions seem to go far beyond the true story, completely distorting the origin story. Such is the case of the recent tape called Cocaine Bear.
A different production will hit theaters next year. Cocaine Bear is a movie directed by Elizabeth Banks, which will surely cause people to talk. In addition, being based on true events, it will be one of the last films to have the recently deceased Ray Liotta among its credits.
Cocaine Bear (2022) From New Line Cinema comes Cocaine Bear, which continues the story of Bear. The trailer directly confirmed everything I expected. But what surprised me the most when trying to find out what the film's writers were thinking to bring such a story to the big screen was learning that the film is based on true events. It is the story of a bear who was found drugged from inadvertently ingesting a disproportionate amount of cocaine.
Cocaine Bear is the title of a black comedy from the director of Pitch Perfect 2 that will hit theaters on February 24. It is about a bear who uses cocaine, but more specifically, it's based on the true story of a bear who gobbled down tons of drugs after encountering the aftermath of a drug dealer plane crash. But what would those drugs do to a bear? Could they kill him? Would he be angry? Would he start talking and run after the ambulances, flying through the air in slow motion? Find out for yourself in the insane trailer for Cocaine Bear the Movie.
The film, which is based on true events, also stars Keri Russell (The Americans), Alden Ehrenreich (Han Solo: A Star Wars Story), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), and Kristofer Hivju (Game of Thrones).
It is worth remembering that the film will be one of Liotta's few posthumous projects.
The film stars Keri Russell, Margo Martindale, This film marks one of Liotta's final roles and his first to be released following the actor's death in May at 67.
'Cocaine Bear' is the title chosen by Universal Pictures to replace 'Cocaine Bear,' the film's original name. As expected, the networks have been filled with memes upon hearing the news, even baptizing the animal as 'Pablo Escobar,' referring to the historic Colombian drug trafficker. However, the title seems to be taken from a Twitter meme, which could even be true since some users came to predict the title in 2021.
However, in the real story, the urdisae died from the effects of the drug. The tape will also be the last time Ray Liotta can be seen on the big screen. The mythical actor was killed in May 2022.
The film, to be released in 2023, released its first trailer a few weeks ago; however, its expectation began a long time ago due to how bizarre or incredible its plot sounds: a black bear consumes cocaine and carries out a massacre in a small Kentucky town.
Although we know that the tape will have certain winks and comedy characteristics, due to the tweet where the trailer "I'm bear who ate cocaine" was presented. This is my story" (I am the bear that ate cocaine, this is my story); more than one raised their eyebrows when looking at the legend in the trailer: based on a true story (based on a true story).
"I am the bear that ate cocaine. This is my story," indicates the title that accompanies the first advance of the film. "A strange group of police officers, criminals, tourists, and teenagers converge in a Georgia forest where a 400-pound predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone berserk with more beatings. And blood," its synopsis states.
The bloody spree that follows the bear's cocaine binge, as depicted in the trailer, is fictional, but the story is very real. Let's see what happened.
It might not surprise you to learn that while Banks is directing, the film is produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the mad geniuses behind The Lego Movie, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and much, much more. That could also be why there's a scene of Han Solo actor Alden Ehrenreich screaming at the top of his lungs about cocaine. (Lord and Miller cast the actor as Han when they teamed up to direct Solo, remember.)
What is the movie about? The story says that, in 1985, a small plane that crossed the sky over the forests of Georgia in the USA got rid of a 20-kilo bag of cocaine. And, as if this were not enough, the kilos of drugs ended up in the claws and muzzle of a 130-kilo brown bear, with a fatal outcome for the giant mammal.
Cocaine Bear' right now, here are some Elizabeth Banks about the Universal Pictures, Brownstone Productions . Released February 24th, 2023. Later, the locals nicknamed the poor bear as EscoBear, a play on words between the last name of the Colombian drug trafficker Pablo Escobar and the word bear in English.
The plot revolves around an American bear who becomes after ingesting a huge bag of. The sales synopsis confirms that the film is "driven by characters inspired by real events that took place in Kentucky in 1985."
According to Variety, the story is based on a true event in September 1985, when a convicted drug dealer named Andrew Thornton unloaded a duffel bag of cocaine in North Georgia.
According to the events on which the story is based, they occurred in 1985. Andrew C. Thornton II, a former lawyer, and US police narcotics officer, were flying through the Chattahoochee National Forest when he was forced to throw out the window of his small plane. A bag of cocaine to get rid of excess weight, to later jump from the plane. Said substance ended up in the hands of the bear, who died a few hours later due to an overdose and was found dead surrounded by several packages of drugs. By then, the agent had become a leading member of a notorious drug smuggling ring in Kentucky.
The film will be directed by Elizabeth Banks, who, in conversation with CinemaBlend, confessed that she was guided by some of her main references in the cinema to create this title. Giant beast stories like Jaws and Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park taught him how to deal with the leading animal. Likewise, the terror and slasher worked by Sam Raimi and John Carpenter was also important.
That, for me, is the heart of the movie; the reason I made it wasn't necessarily because of the crazy bear. I love these movies. I love horror, and I love gore, I love comedy, I love Sam Raimi, and I love John Carpenter, and I felt like this was an opportunity to, this takes place in 1985. So this is a real opportunity to create an homage to some of those types of movies, but also to do something unique because it's also a character piece," he said.
Cocaine Bear, directed by Elizabeth Banks (Charlie's Angels, Plus Pitch Perfect), is based on a true story that occurred in September 1985. According to Tennessee police, Andrew Carter Thornton II, a lawyer, and narcotics officer, were found dead near a house in Knoxville.
But what happened? It all started in 1985 when former narcotics officer and convicted drug dealer Andrew C. Thornton II dropped a bag full of cocaine from his plane because he thought it was carrying too much cargo. After the jump, Thornton died because his parachute never opened.
The Universal Pictures film, starring Keri Russell and the late Ray Liotta, is inspired by real events in a forest in the southern US state of Georgia in 1985. That year, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced in December that a 180-pound black bear had been found in the mountains of Fannin County "killed from a cocaine overdose after finding a batch of the drug." That was what an article of three lines from United Press International in The New York Times reported.
Other than that, the cast is just amazing. Keri Russell is the main star, but there's also O'Shea Jackson Jr., Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Margo Martindale, the late great Ray Liotta, and some recognizable kids like Sweet Tooth, Christian Convery-Jennings. and Brooklynn Prince. All of these stars are waiting to see what happens when Hollywood takes the seemingly serious story of a cocaine-doing bear and turns it into a surreal, adrenaline-pumping rollercoaster ride. It hits theaters on February 24.
Before passing away on May 26, Liotta, who participated in films such as Good Fellas and Hannibal, revealed on his Instagram account: "Cocaine Bear follows a group of police officers, criminals, tourists and teenagers who converge on a Georgia woods where a 500+ pound predator ingests a shocking amount of white powder and goes on a hunt for more cocaine…and blood."
Since it is said that he ate more than twenty kilos of cocaine and died, as a result, the animal has become a symbol of the state, a celebrity that attracts tourists.
One of the most surprising facts in her story is that the cocaine she ingested fell from the sky.
A 180-pound black bear then ingested the cocaine and subsequently overdosed, and was discovered three months later along with about 40 plastic containers of cocaine. Thornton was also killed during an attempt to ditch the overloaded plane when his parachute proved faulty. Today the bear is on display at Kentucky for Kentucky Fun Mall in Lexington, Ky.
This story is not entirely confirmed since the drug above trafficker lost his life on the spot in what seems to have been a failed attempt to open the parachute during his jump. His body was found with the parachute closed in a backyard of a residence in Knoxville, Tennessee. Among his belongings were a bulletproof vest, a pair of knives, $4,500 in cash, rope, food, two pistols, night vision goggles, Gucci loafers, and a backpack with $15 million worth of cocaine.
You think of a cuddly or cute [bear]. And Jurassic Park did an amazing job of taking that feeling of wonder that you haven't seen something and then putting it in order when you realize it could be you. And that was the feeling he wanted to get out of the audience. It would be great to see a bear in the wild. That would be fun. And then it could also become scary. Like you're not paying attention, or the bear was on cocaine," he added.
However, although you think that this death has to do with the wild protagonist of the film, the truth is that the animal had nothing to do with it. Thornton II's death is believed to have been due to fighting with a rival gang due to his work as a drug dealer.
The plane crashed in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest in north Georgia. There, the 40 plastic bags with cocaine (35 kilograms), valued at 15 million dollars, were intercepted by a bear. The animal consumed the drug and died of an overdose. His body was found next to the shipment.
