Cocaine Bear trailer tells true story of predator who ate 70 POUNDS of drug ... trends now
The trailer for Ray Liotta's last ever film has been released, with fans raving that it could be the best thriller of 2023.
Cocaine Bear, a new film by director Elizabeth Banks, tells the story of a 175-pound black bear who eats tons of cocaine and tears a Georgia forest apart as he searches for his next high.
It is the dramatic retelling of a true story of a black bear that ingested an entire duffel bag carrying about 70 pounds of cocaine that had fallen out of a drug smuggler's plane in September 1985 before the crook fell to his death.
The real-life bear was found dead three months later, lying beside an empty bag and 40 opened bags of blow, with a medical examiner ruling he suffered from cerebral hemorrhaging, respiratory failure, hyperthermia, renal failure, heart failure and a stroke.
His taxidermized body is now on display at the Kentucky for Kentucky Fun Mall in Lexington.
But while the real-life bear did not seem to survive long after ingesting the drugs, the film sees him maul victims and climb trees while folks in a Georgia town try desperately to track down the missing blow.
Anyone who gets in the bear's way will be mauled in the dark comedy, and even those who seek to hide behind bushes or up trees are not safe — as the drug-fueled beast seeks them out and rips them limb from limb.

The highly anticipated film stars Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, O’Shea Jackson, Jr., Isiah Whitlock Jr and, of course, Liotta.
Its two-minute long trailer, released on Wednesday, prominently features the stars as they desperately try to catch the bear rampaging through the town. But the true star of the film seems to be the CGI bear.
The beast is first seen in the clip when a pair of medics approach a cabin, where they hear growling only to find the bear apparently cowering in a corner of a back room.
When the male medic suggests they leave, the bear breaks down the door and tackles him growling straight into his face.
