As the MCU very slowly, but surely, starts to dwindle in popularity, a new breed of Hollywood claptrap is emerging from the swamps of dirt-poor creativity.
In the tradition of “Sharknado,” “Snakes on a Plane,” and “Piranha 3D,” Elizabeth Banks decided to make her own animal-gone-wild movie with “Cocaine Bear”. Honestly, the film didn’t even need that much marketing, the title alone was going to sell tickets, and that it definitely did.
The last few decades hinted at moviegoers appetite for films about various critters and beasts hunting humans, but Banks raised the bar by adding drugs into the mix. I mean, how can one even resist?
Of course, this meant that all other drug-animal movie combos were fair game. Hollywood wouldn’t dare miss on this potential cash cow. Vulture even noted a few ideas that could be possibilities such as “Ketamine Kangaroo,” “Ecstasy Boa Constrictor” and “Opium Fruit Bat.”
Well, how about “Attack of the Meth Gator”? This is not a joke. The film has (already) been greenlit for release in May 2023, according to IMDB, and claims to have been in development before Cocaine Bear was announced.
‘Meth Gator’ is a project by The Asylum, the independent film company and distributor responsible for “Sharknado.”
What we’re likely going to witness in the next few years is the attack of proudly, shamelessly, and gloriously brainless beasts-on-drugs movies.
