We chat with CocaineBear director ElizabethBanks about how family is the heart of the film, why nature always defeats man, and her hopes of getting justice for the real bear:
Cocaine Bear begins with a drug smuggler dropping their cargo load of product across a forest in Georgia, which a bear happens across and consumes a duffel bag full of cocaine. Cocaine Bear follows a group of locals and tourists in Georgia who do everything they can to survive after a 500-pound black bear goes on a coke-fueled killing spree.
Elizabeth Banks: 100%. Oh, my gosh. You get me. I read the script, and I went down the internet rabbit hole into the real story. And I found out that in the real story, the bear consumed this cocaine, OD'd, and died. And I thought I was so sad about that. It really depressed me that, that bear became collateral damage in this insane war on drugs. And I just felt like this movie was the redemption story for that bear.
This idea that we feel like we can control nature, we can control animals, we're top of the food chain, ba-ba-ba. And I know that nature is going to win. We actually cannot compete. This Earth, if it doesn't want us, it will get rid of us. So we got to watch out. And I think this movie, it should be a little reminder that we need to be more cautious and more caring when it comes to nature.
A dad trying to keep his son in the family business when that son wants to be his own man. There just felt, to me, so many relatable, interesting parenting. And then we come to find out that we've got a Mama Bear in the movie, too. That, to me, it was for sure a thrust. It connected all the stories. It was all about, what is our legacy that we're leaving behind? How do we care for our kids? How do we take care of each other? The movie has a lot of heart when it boils down.
