Natalie Holt Scoring Elizabeth Banks’ ‘Cocaine Bear’
Natalie Holt (Loki, Herself, Knightfall, Journey’s End, Fever Dream, Beecham House, Press) has been hired to score the upcoming thriller Cocaine Bear. The film is directed by Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect 2, Charlie’s Angels) and stars Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson, Ray Liotta, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Alden Ehrenreich, Margo Martindale, Kristofer Hivju, Brooklynn Prince, Christian Convery, Kahyun Kim and Scott Seiss. The movie is inspired by true events, which took place in Kentucky in 1985, involving a real-life 175-pound bear who died of an apparent cocaine overdose. Jimmy Warden (The Babysitter: Killer Queen) wrote the screenplay. Phil Lord & Chris Miller (The LEGO Movie, 21/22 Jump Street) and Aditya Sood (The Martian, Let’s Be Cops) are producing the project for Lord Miller, alongside Brian Duffield (Spontaneous, Love and Monsters), as well as Banks & Max Handelman (Pitch Perfect, Shrill) for Brownstone Productions. Cocaine Bear is expected to be released this year by Universal Pictures.
As previously reported, Holt also has HBO Max’s superhero movie Batgirl coming up.
Finally, the next generation will have their Snakes on a Plane. The tone If this trailer is all over the place, undoubtedly the movie will feel similar.
I received the COCAINE BEAR CD-R today and am not very pleased. As others have mentioned, none of the other Waxwork CD releases have been CD-Rs, so I'm not sure why they went this route with this release. Pretty disappointing. At the very least, they should have disclosed in the product description that it's a CD-R and offered it at a discounted price.
To add insult to injury, my disc has smudges, fingerprints and light scratches on the disc. I emailed Waxwork about my concerns, and this was the reply I received:
"Thanks for reaching out! These were manufactured professionally. If smudges from the plant assembling the discs affects the audio please let us know. Your support is appreciated."
Not cool at all. As far as I'm concerned, they've lost a customer.
Yeah, that's not a answer. Both CD and CD-R are manufactured. I seriously doubt there is a cocaine-fueled Waxworks staff burning off CD'Rs on office computers.
