There are so many real stories out there that deserve their own Hollywood version.
Whether it’s the big screen or the small screen, there’s a seemingly endless list of ideas that script writers can have.
But lately a man has been given the green light and it feels awful.
Directed by Elizabeth Banks Bear cocaine, which basically does what it says on the tin.
The flick will be based on the true 1985 story of how a giant bear ate 30 kilograms of cocaine.
According to AV, the story is based on a short story from the New York Times that detailed how drug smuggler Andrew Thornton jumped out of a plane.
He was carrying too much on his husband when he jumped off the plane and, despite having a parachute, fell to his death in Kentucky.
What was causing him to be fat … you overcame it: a big duffel bag of cocaine.
When a bear fell over Thornton’s dead body, he went into the illegal stuff and ate a lot.
If you know what a baggie can make one gram of coke for a man, imagine how much 30kg of the white stuff he made into a big bear.
The bear suffered cerebral hemorrhage, respiratory failure, hyperthermia, renal failure, heart failure, stroke and more medical issues as a result of the coke.
Sadly, apparently too much cocaine was too much for Pablo Escobear and he died of too much drug overdose.
Not much else is known about the film, but ever since the news broke on social media, people have been going wild for the idea.
One person wrote: “That’s the biggest park I’ve ever heard of anything EVER! Why hasn’t this already been done with 20 sequels!? ‘COCAINE BEAR RETURNS!’ COCAINE BEAR TAKES MANHATTAN! ‘ ”
The film is directed by Universal Pictures and will be produced by Lord Miller.
The real cocaine bears were filled in by authorities after his discovery and autopsy was completed. It is now on display at a museum in Kentucky.
