By A sequel to last year’s dark comedy hit “Cocaine Bear” is reportedly in the works according to scooper DanielRPK.
Elizabeth Banks is producing and may return to the director’s chair for the follow-up.
The film was inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner’s plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it.
The story sees an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists, and teens converge on a Georgia forest where a 500- pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage.
Keri Russell, Margo Martindale, Alden Ehrenrich, and the late Ray Liotta co-starred in the R-rated film which scored softly positive reviews and grossed over $89 million against a production budget of around $30-35 million.
In July last year, Banks said she had such fun working on the project she’d be up for a return, saying: “If I got the opportunity to surprise the audience and delight myself again, I would take it”.
