Action-comedy Cocaine Bear on UHD, Blu-ray, DVD & Digital in May

14 April 2023

From Director Elizabeth Banks (Charlie's Angels, Pitch Perfect 2), comes Cocaine Bear, the "Uproariously entertaining" (Flickering Myth) story inspired by a time an actual bear inadvertently did cocaine.

The comedy-laced, high-octane film stars Keri Russell (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), Margo Martindale (American Crime Story), and the late Ray Liotta (Goodfellas) in "a thrilling binge of adrenaline" (TheWrap).

The Maximum Rampage Edition, packed with behind-the-scenes extras including an alternate ending, deleted scenes and gag reel, will be released on Digital Download (via AppleTV only) on 15 May 2023, and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on 29 May 2023 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

Very loosely inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner's plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild dark comedy finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converging in a Georgia forest 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.
