Directed by Elizabeth Banks, Cocaine Bear was inspired by the true tale of a 175-pound black bear found in the forests of Georgia in 1985 surrounded by 40 open containers of smuggled cocaine. But that’s as far as the facts go when it comes to the fictional R-rated film, which used CGI to create the 500-pound black bear. The cast features Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Christian Convery, Alden Ehrenreich, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and the late Ray Liotta (in one of his last roles).

The bear already has its own line of official merch, while 12-year-old star Brooklynn Prince has separately created her first comic book.
