NEW MOVIE coming in February 2023.

"An oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists, and teens converge in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound black bear goes on a murderous rampage after unintentionally ingesting cocaine."

From a true story. Waylon did love him some cocaine.

Andrew C. Thornton II was a former American narcotics officer who became a Kentucky-based drug smuggler. On September 11, 1985, he dropped a load of 40 plastic containers of cocaine from a private plane because the load was too heavy to carry. He died that same day when he jumped from the plane with a faulty parachute. Later, on December 23 of that year, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation reported finding a dead black bear that had eaten the cocaine from the 40 plastic containers.[4][5] The total amount of cocaine eaten was 75 pounds (34 kilograms),[2] valued at 2 million dollars.[6][7] The chief medical examiner from the Georgia State Crime Lab, Dr. Kenneth Alonso, stated that its stomach was "literally packed to the brim with cocaine,"[8] though he estimated the bear had absorbed only 3 to 4 grams of the substance into its bloodstream at the time of its death.[9][10]

Dr. Kenneth Alonso did not want to waste the body of the bear, so he had it taxidermied and gifted it to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. However, the bear was lost until it emerged again in a pawn shop. The country singer Waylon Jennings bought it, and eventually it made its way to the Kentucky for Kentucky Fun Mall in Lexington, Kentucky where it remains to this day.[9]

On March 9, 2021, Universal Pictures announced that a film based on the true story of the Cocaine Bear was in development. It was also confirmed that the film would be directed by Elizabeth Banks.[11] The film is scheduled to be released on February 24, 2023.[12]
