Once upon a time, Radio Silence (
Ready or Not, Scream) was set to direct a bear-centric thriller about a bear who does tons of cocaine called
Cocaine Bear. Now it looks like Radio Silence is out and
Slither star turned director Elizabeth Banks is in.
The exact plot details are being kept under wraps – but come on.
Cocaine Bear is inspired by events that took place in Kentucky in 1985. NY Times first reported the true story about a 175-pound black bear that eats a duffle bag filled with more than 70 pounds of cocaine dropped from an airplane by a drug smuggler. Jimmy Warden penned the untitled spec script.
