Exclusive: Writer/director Rhys Frake-Waterfield explains why WinnieThePoohBloodandHoney turned THAT character into a weapon. 'I hope some people who realize that do laugh at it and do just have fun, because that's kind of what I wanted for this film.'
Warning: SPOILERS lie ahead for Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey!While audiences are already shocked by the lead character being a slasher villain, writer/director Rhys Frake-Waterfield has explained why Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey turned one iconic character into a villain. The horror movie centers on the eponymous anthropomorphic bear and his friend Piglet as they embark on a murder spree in the Hundred Acre Wood.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In honor of the film's theatrical release, Screen Rant spoke exclusively with Rhys Frake-Waterfield to discuss Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. When asked about including Easter eggs to other Winnie the Pooh characters, the writer/director explained his decision to kill off Eeyore in the film's opening and turning his tail into a weapon later in the movie.
The other one is, yes, Eeyore's tail. I thought it would just be crazy if there's a scene where Pooh has to pick up a weapon, and there's a load of different weapons available, and they're all kind of pipes and wrenches and barbed wire, and then eventually, the one he picks up is his old friend's tail off the wall, and he uses that like a whip.
Though the film included the majority of the characters, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey notably lacked any inclusion or mention of beloved tiger, Tigger. Frake-Waterfield has recently explained the character's absence, explaining because he's not in the public domain, and as such still owned by Disney, they couldn't include any reference to him.
Frake-Waterfield has confirmed plans for a Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey sequel, as well as a cinematic universe of horror retellings based on Bambi, Peter Pan and more. With Rabbit and Owl only appearing in the opening animatic, the writer/director also exclusively teased that Rabbit will appear in one of the next installments as a "wired" character. While audiences await updates for the future, they can catch Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey in theaters through February 23.
