Are you ready for Cocaine Bear? Probably not. Elizabeth Banks' upcoming horror has already taken the internet by storm thanks to i澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:ts wild trailer. In this moﷺnth's , featuring Luther: Thꦆe Fallen Sun on the cover, we caught up with the director to talk through her movie – here's a snippet of what she said.
"Cocaine Bear is a horror c𝓰omedy. There are a lot of horror tropes that we play with 🍒in the film. You know, it’s a bear high on cocaine attacking people! But it’s also a really fun character piece. It’s about a great group of people coming together who are very much in over their heads. Everybody is going after the drugs, and nobody realizes that the bear got there first.
"[Jimmy Warden’s script] was so unique, and I thought it really offered an opportunity for me to play on a genre that I hadn’t really considered before, and do something out of the box. My first r༒eaction was ‘I gotta read the real story and understand how much of this is true’. Then I did a deep dive. I thought this bear was collateral damage [in] a broken war on drugs. I had a lot of empathy for it. I felt like this film could be the bear’s revenge story.
"One of the surprising themes of the film is parenting. The film is very much🎐 about fathers and sons, and mothers and daughters, and protecting your cubs. That’s one of the things that drew me to it as a mom, this story of how to be the best version of a parent. The other [theme] is the sense that the war on drugs was really ramped up in the ’80s. This film takes place in 1985, which is the height of all these programmes to combat crack in America. So many of those policies went sideways, and this bear was collateral damage. Then the other thing is about nature itself. We, as humans, with our hubris, feel that we 🌠can control nature. [But] if you fuck with nature, nature will fuck with you.
