2023 is a hell of a rush.
It has already given us a film a couple of bear that takes cocaine. (Known as, considerably appropriately, Cocaine Bear.) In opposition to all odds, Cocaine Bear has simply turn out to be one of many 12 months’s first shock hits on the field workplace, grossing a powerful $23.1 million in its opening weekend. (You already know what you should purchase with $23.1 million? Me neither.)
Effectively, that type of success will get folks’s consideration — particularly the makers of “mockbusters” over at The Asylum, who specialise in (lovingly) ripping off big-time Hollywood films with lesser stars and smaller budgets. Over the weekend, as Cocaine Bear was getting moviegoers all throughout the nation excessive (on life), The Asylum revealed they have been prepping their very own film a couple of drug-fueled monster. It’s referred to as, Assault of the Meth Gator.
Of their tweet saying the movie, they even joked concerning the Cocaine Bear connection. “Maintain our bear… I imply, beer,” they wrote.
A followup tweet confirmed that, sure, this can be a actual film (nicely, real-ish. It’s as actual as an Asylum film will get anyway.)
As for the ludicrousness of a movie a couple of gator on meth, nicely it’s no extra absurd than a film a couple of bear on cocaine. Each are type of based mostly on true tales. Only a few years in the past, there have been studies of a Tennessee city warning residents to not flush their medicine (and significantly their meth) down the bathroom, lest the medicine get into the water provide and make their solution to some unsuspecting gator, thus making a manic killer croc. Right here’s a Time Journal video on the story:
That’s greater than sufficient of a premise for a Meth Gator film — and for the inevitable crossover sequel, Cocaine Bear vs. Meth Gator. However then what do you do for the threequel? I personally wish to see an Ecstasy Sloth; I feel that has a variety of comedic potential.
The Worst Billion-Greenback Blockbusters
All of those films grossed greater than $1 billion on the field workplace. They usually all stink.
