Moore, Leo Hanna, Kahyun Kim, Scott Seiss, Matthew Rhys, Allan Henry Writer: Jimmy Warden Director: Elizabeth Banks Distributor: Universal Pictures Release Date: February 24, 2023 It’s easy enough to believe COCAINE BEAR’s advertising claim that it is “based on true events.” After all, with all the cocaine smuggling going on, there is no reason not to believe that some got dropped in a forest and eaten by a bear.
