Cocaine Bear: the trailer for 2023’s wildest film is everything and more

The Elizabeth Banks-directed caper, based on a true story, looks to be exactly what the internet wants it to be

www.theguardian.com

Convince me otherwise but I think the best film of 2023 is already upon us.



A true story.

I prefer the sequel: 'Crack Squirrel'

Some stills apparently from the film - the bear doesn't look very coked up to me.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

It looks so bad it'll be good though.

 

[killer b]

Very enjoyable concept and trailer - one where I can't really see any point in watching the film though - the trailer seems to have covered it all.

 

[danny la rouge]

Ray Liota’s memory and reputation are safe.

What you can't see from the stills is that the bear has been going on about how it's Forex portfolio has performed well enough to pay for a new Porsche for the last twenty minutes.

A true story.

Bearely !

Bearely !

True in a Coen Bros sort of way. Possibly.

I can actually imagine that bear talking to me at 300 words a minute in a kitchen at 4am

Might be an idea to rethink your drug consumption.

DMT Bear is in the pipeline. Film starts off with you chatting to a person who morphs into Cocaine Bear by the end of the first scene.

I think there's enough for at least a trilogy here.

Nice to see the trailer, even if it’s just to see the exasperated retail guy off of TikTok in a plum role. Hope he doesn’t have to go back to Ikea

 

[The Octagon]

"Cocaine Bear? Ah, so it's an art film with one of those wry titles to pique interest...wait.... nope"

Weirdest thing is that it's directed by Elizabeth Banks tbh.

Ray Liotta I could expect this from, his career went in odd, direct-to-video directions after Goodfellas. Character Actress Margo Martindale in there too, plus Keri Russell. Just, what?

What’s confusing about all of that? They already made a bunch of movies based on viral news events and Twitter sagas

 

[Chz]

This cropped up in my Twitter timeline as something coming up soon. I did particularly like the true background story, with its "Also known as Pablo Escobear".

Cocaine Bear: The Game.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

This film was released in the UK yesterday.

Has anyone had a watch yet? I think we'll give it a whirl.

Have you seen a lot of coked up bears ?

Streaming yet?

 

[DaveCinzano]

Have you seen a lot of coked up bears ?

No, mostly brown bears

 

[WouldBe]

Have you seen a lot of coked up bears ?

Knowing his taste in animal quite probably.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Have you seen a lot of coked up bears ?

Erm, all the time, yeah.

 

[WhyLikeThis]

Seen it. Twas excellent.

The demographic watching it was very mixed, crews of teenagers, serious greyed haired beard strokers, middle aged mums and a grumpy anarchist. Chortles all round.

 

[WhyLikeThis]

I’m going to say it, this was the most enjoyable film I’ve seen for some time.

Oh good. I was going to see it anyway but it's good to get a recommendation.

 

[Duncan2]

Will be worth going along just to see how they manage to spin out the comedic concept of a bear stumbling on someone's stash of coke into a full length film?

 

[T & P]

I’m going to say it, this was the most enjoyable film I’ve seen for some time.

So you’re actually saying this is no ‘so-ridiculous-it’s-good) flick a la Snakes on a Plane, but in fact a proper quality film?

I’m going to watch it either way regardless, but curious to know

 

[WhyLikeThis]

I am in no way saying this is a “proper quality film”. Fuck no.

But I loved it.

My son has been going on about this for ages. But he's not 15 so we'll have to wait till it is online!
