More about Cocaine Bear
Cocaine Bear was released in theaters worldwide on February 24, 2023.
The plot of the movie is seemingly absurd, as a smuggler drops a shipment of cocaine from his plane, and when he attempts to jump off the plane with the help of a parachute, he just then hits his head on the side of the plane, and he falls off it. However, his body lands in Knoxville, Tennesse, where he is identified as Bob, a local detective.
The movie is about some cops, tourists, teens, and criminals who move towards a Georgia forest, where a black bear accidentally consumes the drugs dropped by Bob, and dies shortly after.
Directed by Elizabeth Banks, the movie is written by Warden. Furthermore, the team has described the movie as an adaptation of the true story of the bear who consumed millions of dollars of cocaine in 1985.
The star cast of the movie includes Keri Russell, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Christian Convery, Alden Ehrenreich, Brooklynn Prince, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Margo Martindale, and Ray Liotta.
The music in the movie has been composed by Mark Motherbaugh.
While the movie has been getting mixed reviews from the audience, the trailer of the film has garnered over 17 million views since it was released two months back.
The makers released the trailer on social media with a hilarious caption that read: “Don’t coke the bear” instead of “Don’t poke the bear.”
