Cocaine Bear has a nickname and it's pretty on the nose...
There are many movies to look forward to this year, but the best title of them all might belong to Cocaine Bear. The comedy/thriller was helmed by Elizabeth Banks and is based on the true story of a black bear who ate an incredible amount of cocaine. Sadly, the bear did not survive his experiment with drugs, but he did earn a name for himself in Lexington, Kentucky where you can see him on display.
"Everybody's been very much on the same page about tone and levels of gore and the bear," Banks explained."That's been the longest lead time, putting together sequences with Cokey – [that's] how we refer to the bear – and getting Cokey totally ready for audiences." Who Stars in Cocaine Bear?Cocaine Bear stars Keri Russell , Emmy-winner Margo Martindale , Emmy-winner Ray Liotta , Alden Ehrenreich , O'Shea Jackson Jr. , Jesse Tyler Ferguson , Kristofer Hivju , Kahyun Kim , Christian Convery , Brooklynn Prince and newcomer Scott Seiss.
How Did Cokey Get So Much Cocaine? "Cokey" ingested an extreme amount of cocaine after a drug runner's plane crashed in 1985. Andrew C. Thornton II was a former narcotics officer and convicted drug smuggler, who dumped a duffel bag of cocaine out of his plane because his plane was too heavy. Thornton intended to recover the bag himself, jumping out of the plane with a parachute, but the parachute was faulty, and Thornton died.
I felt a lot of sympathy for the bear," Banks told EW about the real-life Cocaine Bear."Like, wow, this bear – which, in real life, ended up dead after eating all this coke – ended up being sort of collateral damage in this War on Drugs. And I just thought, 'Well, then this movie can be a revenge story for the bear.' And it just gave me a point of view and a purpose for making it. Like, there's a real message here: 'We should not f*ck with nature, nature will win.
