A Bruce Lee Biopic and a Cocaine Bear
What if there was a bear...who did cocaine? That's the premise of Cocaine Bear, which is very much a real movie coming from director Elizabeth Banks. The first trailer for the film arrived today, and it sure looks like a movie where a bear does cocaine...and then goes on a wild rampage. Cinema!
The Cocaine Bear trailer is just one story in the latest /Film newsletter. The newsletter also features news about a Bruce Lee biopic coming from Ang Lee, several reviews, including a review of the new Willow TV series, and much more.
