Up next from Elizabeth Banks (Charlie’s Angels) is the ripped-from-the-headlines (no, seriously!) thriller Cocaine Bear for Universal, which Phil Lord and Chris Miller (The Lego Movie, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) are on board to produce. The movie is inspired by true events that took place in Kentucky in 1985, and it was written by Jimmy Warden.
The basic gist of the story is that a 175-pound black bear was found dead from an overdose after ingesting massive amounts of cocaine dropped into the woods by a drug smuggler.
Deadline provides an update today, reporting that Keri Russell, Ray Liotta, Alden Ehrenreich, O’Shea Jackson and Jesse Tyler Ferguson have signed on to star in the movie.
Brian Duffield (Underwater, Spontaneous) is also on board to produce.
