We learned last year that Grizzly II: Revenge, the sequel to 1976’s Grizzly (also known as Grizzly II: The Predator and Grizzly II: The Concert), has finally been finished by producer Suzanne Nagy, who had gained full control over the movie many years ago. Grizzly II was filmed in 1983 but never actually finished or released, and only a rough cut has ever existed up to this point.
The film’s Wikipedia page explains, “The main scenes for Grizzly II were completed, but before special effects featuring a huge electromechanical bear could be used, the executive producer, Joseph Proctor, disappeared with all of the funds, with some sources saying that he was jailed during the time of the filming. Filmed footage of a live bear, however, attacking a live rock concert, was shot in Hungary. Attempts have been made to recut and film more scenes, but to date, the film has never been released. A bootleg version with the original work print was released in 2007.”
In Grizzly II, which features George Clooney, Laura Dern and Charlie Sheen in small roles, “All hell breaks loose when a 15-ft grizzly bear, reacting to the slaughter of her cub by poachers, seeks revenge and kills anyone that gets in her way. In the 3 days before the major concert taking place in Yellowstone National Park, the gigantic grizzly has brutally attacked campers Ron (Clooney), Tina (Dern) and Lance (Sheen), poachers and a park ranger. The terror doesn’t end there as the giant grizzly bear finds its way to the concert grounds to go on a killing spree.”
All these years later, Grizzly II: Revenge is finally being unleashed, with Gravitas Ventures acquiring the horror sequel and dating it for theatrical/VOD release on January 8, 2021.
Here’s an exclusive sneak peek in which the famed grizzly attacks!
