ClubElizabeth Banks Cocaine Bear is a new movie that is based on an article in the New York Times from 1985 about a bear who took a lot of cocaine. It stars Keri Russell and Ray Liotta. Although we don't know who is playing the bear in the movie, The Hollywood Reporter states that the film will be a character-driven thriller with Jimmy Warden as the script. The original story involves a drug smuggler who threw a lot of drugs out of a plane. He then died when his parachute didn't work because he was carrying too much. Then, a black bear discovered the drugs and killed him.AdvertisementThe story has only two characters, the bear and Banks. It remains to be seen how Warden and Warden will expand on this without denying the audience the thing they all go to the theater for. That is, a bear, who burys his face in cocaine like Tony Montana, and then goes on a rampage against everyone who wronged him. This bear might make it. Perhaps it will learn from the experience and become a better and more intelligent animal. The movie doesn't end when the bear finds and eats the cocaine. That would make it either Cocaine Airplane, or Cocaine Parachute. We want to learn more about Cocaine Bear. A paragraph in the New York Times from 40 years ago isn't enough!
