Cocaine Bear is an upcoming American black comedy thriller directed and co-produced by Elizabeth Banks.
The movie is inspired by a drug run in Columbia in 1985. A plane carrying drugs crashed over Georgia’s Chattahoochee National Forest, spilling 40 kilograms of cocaine. A black bear, also called ‘Pablo EscoBear’ or aptly referred to as ‘Cocaine Bear’, later came across the drugs in the forest and would later die from an overdose.
The film features an ensemble cast that includes Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Christian Convery-Jennings, Alden Ehrenreich, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Brooklynn Prince, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Kristofer Hivju, Hannah Hoekstra, Aaron Holliday, Margo Martindale, and Ray Liotta in one of his final performances before his death.
Cocaine Bear is scheduled to be released in the United States on February 24, 2023, by Universal Pictures.
