Universal City, CA – April 4, 2023 – From Director Elizabeth Banks (“Charlie’s Angels,” “Pitch Perfect 2”) comes Cocaine Bear, the “wildly entertaining” (the Mary Sue) story inspired by the time an actual bear did cocaine. The comedy-laced, high-octane film phenomenon stars Keri Russell (“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”), Margo Martindale (“American Crime Story”), and the late Ray Liotta (“Goodfellas”) in “a thrilling binge of Adrenaline” (TheWrap). The ‘Maximum Rampage Edition,’ loaded with behind-the-scenes extras including an alternate ending, deleted scenes, and gag reel, will be yours to own on Digital April 14th and Blu-ray™ and DVD April 18th, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment (UPHE).
Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner’s plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild dark comedy finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists, and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow … and blood.
