Now in cinemas, Cocaine Bear has quickly become one of this year's most talked about films. Directed by Elizabeth Banks, the film tells the tale of a rampaging bear high on cocaine - and really is based on a true story.
Despite the film's comedy, the true story is tragic. Banks says her first reaction when she heard the real story was"a lot of sympathy" for the bear."And I thought, wow, this script is actually an incredible redemption story for that bear, who was collateral damage in this crazy war on drugs."
"A bear dying of a drug overdose is really sad," says writer Jimmy Warden."This [film] was about redressing or rewriting the story for the bear, who was really the victim in this entire thing. But my objective was always just to create something that was fun. And I think that the movie definitely does it very well."L-R: O'Shea Jackson Jr, Alden Ehrenreich, Ayoola Smart and Ray Liotta.
"There's always so much vulnerability and sweetness and heart in all of his performances, even when he's playing these extremely menacing characters," says Ehrenreich, known for films including Hail, Caesar! and Solo: A Star Wars Story."That really bore itself out with him personally, he was just this very sweet man and having a lot of fun."
