Those who viewed yesterday’s Redband trailer — about a black bear’s cocaine-fueled rampage through the Southern forest — were undoubtedly skeptical of the teaser caption claiming that the flick was “inspired by true events.”
However, its far-fetched premise is indeed based on a true story. And — though far less grisly (so to speak) — the real details behind the event may be just as shocking.
For the uninitiated, the highly anticipated Elizabeth Banks-directed black comedy follows a group of strangers who meet in the Georgia wilderness “where a 500 pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow … and blood,” per the movie’s official press release.

Which actor portrays Hunter Biden in this flick?
I daresay this might be Ray Liotta's second finest role and a fitting swan song.
Gary Busey?
I can have hope it is as 80s traditional campy comedy-horror as it looks to be.
It looks like they are pushing too hard, force-feeding the comedy on the audience instead of letting the audience discover it.
Looks pretty funny. And violent.
“the highly anticipated Elizabeth Banks-directed black comedy...”
Who exactly is highly anticipating this after her first film flopped so spectacularly?
In addition to the one dead skydiver found in Tennessee a Cessna 208 (skydiving plane)with 17 souls onboard crashed shortly after this event too.
Rumor has it that there were many parachutes dropped with drug cargo during that event. Some of it reached the intended targets based on what folks talked about in hushed tones.
Potentially there is/was some dispute as to ownership of the coke.
“The Bluegrass Conspiracy” written by Sally Denton is a good true crime book on the subject for those so inclined.
I learned to skydive at the DZ connected to the story just after the aircraft tragedy. My version is from hearsay, mostly verified by what people NEVER spoke of.
Luckily the DZ operator and I did not see eye to eye on many topics so I soon called a different drop zone home.
Subtlety is lost on this generation. They need to be told when to laugh.
