Some months ago, I posted on the remarkable tale of Pablo Escobear, the poor critter that ingested 70 pounds of cocaine that was dumped out of a drug runner’s plane near the Georgia-Tennessee line. This you-can’t-make-this-shit-up episode tied together some of my favorite things, to include Waylon Jennings and Justified.
I’d forgotten that a movie directed by Elizabeth Banks was in the offing until Barry McKnight scouted up the trailer. Yep, this Cocaine Bear bit has done got outta hand.
“Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner’s plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild dark comedy finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow … and blood.”

When you posted about this previous, I thought it would make a good horror film.

I think this is just what I need to watch while laying low. BTW I think it’s a new verse for Mike’s original “Aint Makin’ This Up”.

Right?

This is one of those trailers that makes you feel like you’ve already seen the entire movie, IMO. Does it look cheesy and over the top? Yes. Am I still going to watch it? Absolutely.
JimC says
Exactly.

Yeah, this one will be a MUST for me too, once it gets to the cheapo DVD bin at The Wal-Mart! Some movies end up there purty quick these days–I reckon this will be one of those! Hopefully!
