What is scarier than an angry bear? One that’s pissed off and hopped up on A LOT of cocaine. The poster for Universal’s true story-inspired thriller Cocaine Bear lets out a roar ahead of the film’s 2023 release. “The movie finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists, and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow … and blood.” Keri Russell, Ray Liotta, Alden Ehrenreich, O’Shea Jackson, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson star in the action-packed thriller written by Jimmy Warden (The Babysitter: Killer Queen). Actress turned director Elizabeth Banks (“The Boys”) is behind the film based on the true event that took place in Kentucky in 1985. A botched drug smuggling attempt left many one-pound packages of cocaine scattered about the Chattahoochee National Forest. A bear consumed several of those packages. The bear, which has been named “Pablo Escobear” (named after

Tubi, in collaboration with Incendo, has laid the tracks for the sequel to its recent remake of the cult classic horror film Terror Train. A Tubi Original, Terror Train 2 introduces a brand new storyline, slated to premiere this New Year’s Eve, which pays homage to the festive setting of the first film that famously took place at an NYE party.

Like many Addams Family fans, I was thrilled to hear that Tim Burton and Netflix were teaming up for the series “Wednesday,” which premiered earlier this month on the streaming giant. I binged the series, and I have some thoughts. In the series, we see Wednesday shipped off to a school for outcasts and monsters, Nevermore Academy. While she hates it at first, she is soon swept up in a mystery surrounding killed students and townspeople after she begins to have visions. Along the way, she makes friends and enemies. First off, let me say that Jenna Ortega was a brilliant casting decision. She makes a fantastic Wednesday and captures the character’s darkness perfectly. However, the rest of the Addams family wasn’t quite so lucky. Catherine Zeta-Jones plays the role of Morticia but lacks the iconic sexiness and elegance of the character. When it comes to Gomez, played by Luis Guzmán, the character is missing the suaveness we’ve come to

Today, we’ve got the first teaser from the spin-off series “The Walking Dead: Dead City.” The six-episode spin-off picks up two years after the events of “The Walking Dead.” “Dead City” centers on Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) as they travel to “a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.” Eli Jorné (“The Walking Dead”) will serve as the showrunner. “Eli has created a chaotic, beautiful, grimy madhouse of the dead for Negan, Maggie, and fans of the show eager to discover an unseen and insane world of the TWD Universe,” franchise architect Scott Gimple said in a recent statement. “Lauren and Jeffrey have always been
