    Elizabeth Banks is Open to a “Cocaine Shark” Movie

    Well, 2023 may just be the year of movies about animals on drugs. Elizabeth Banks, director and star of the upcoming film “Cocaine Bear” is apparently open to maybe making a sequel, “Cocaine Shark.” The phrase “cocaine shark” started trending earlier this month. This was due to a wave of memes linking the New Zealand Police seizing 3.5 tons of the illicit substance from the Pacific Ocean to Bank’s new horror comedy.

    This all seemed to culminate in a poll posted on AMC Theater’s official Twitter, asking fans to choose between a cocaine bear and a cocaine shark. Bear won the poll in an absolute landslide.  “Cocaine Bear”’s official Twitter even responded back to the poll with a mildly threatening “i’m watching how you vote.”

    Banks heard the clamoring for a “Cocaine Shark” sequel loud and clear.  “I’ve seen that. If there’s a great story, then sure,” she said when asked whether she would do another project featuring an animal doing rails. “Jaws with cocaine, I don’t see how that loses.”

    The director has also been clear that “Cocaine Bear” will not shy away from the gore. “In my initial presentation [I] brought to the table a lot of really gruesome real life photography of people who have had limbs ripped off and things like that, and giant gashes and bites,” Banks said. “And [I] just sort of said, ‘I want this…’ I wanted The Revenant.”

    “The Revenant” was a 2015 film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. His character has to survive in the wilderness after being attacked by a (probably not coked up) bear. “The first couple kills have to be that gnarly so that you understand that everyone should be afraid of the bear. That was a big part of it for me,” Banks added.

    Because, while clearly framed are a horror comedy,  “Cocaine Bear” is loosely based on a real-life incident in 1985. Where a black bear helped itself to a duffle back full of the devil’s dandruff. This film is an obvious play on what the bear could have done while on drugs. While no drug-addled sharks have been found (yet), the concept for “Cocaine Shark” would probably be pretty similar. 

     “Cocaine Bear” blows into theaters on February 24th, 2023. Watch the trailer below:
