Did you ever hear about the story of a bear who died from eating pounds of abandoned cocaine in 1985 at northern Georgia of the USA? Well, here’s a movie inspired from that obscure tale.

Imaginatively titled Cocaine Bear, this 2023 thriller is directed by renowned actress Elizabeth Banks. It chronicles the tale of a bear high on cocaine and going on a rampage. It wreaks havoc, it eats people, and also pauses to admire a butterfly. Classic cocaine effects, really. Here’s the movie premise:

“An oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists, and teens converge in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound black bear goes on a murderous rampage after unintentionally ingesting cocaine.”

The film stars Ray Liotta, Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson Jr. , Isiah Whitlock Jr., and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Watch the insane trailer below. The film is slated for a 24 February 2023 release.
