Yes, CocaineBear is actually based on a true story.
Cocaine Bear is taking the internet by storm. Monday, Universal released the first teaser poster for the upcoming thriller, giving the masses their first earnest look at the picture. Across the top of the poster in big, bold letters reads"inspired by true events," akin to something you may see from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre or The Conjuring franchises.
It all stems from an event in 1985 involving Andrew C. Thornton II, a police officer-turned-drug smuggler. During one of his smuggling runs from Colombia, Thornton and a business partner jumped from their plane with dozens of duffel bags packed to the brim with the drug. Thornton didn't survive the jump after getting tangled in his parachute, dropping some of the said duffel bags along the plane's flight path. One of those bags ultimately gave an unsuspecting bear one Hell of a night.
Three months after Thornton's ill-fated skydive, officials found a black bear dead along the flight path with one of the smuggler's empty duffel bags nearby. It's believed the black bear ingested the entire contents of the bag, which was thought to amount to roughly $15 million worth of cocaine. Cocaine Bear stars Keri Russell , Emmy winner Margo Martindale , Emmy winner Ray Liotta , Alden Ehrenreich , O'Shea Jackson Jr. , Jesse Tyler Ferguson , Kristofer Hivju , Kahyun Kim , Christian Convery , Brooklynn Prince , and newcomer Scott Seiss.
Directed by Elizabeth Banks from a screenplay by Jimmy Warden , Cocaine Bear is produced by Oscar winners Phil Lord and Chris Miller and Aditya Sood for Lord Miller, by Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman for Brownstone Productions, and by Brian Duffield . Robin Fisichella will executive produce.
