This is not the Winnie the Pooh you grew up with.
In an job interview with Range, director Rhys Waterfield teased new particulars about a new, twisted choose on the beloved character in the upcoming horror movie “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.”
“No one is likely to mistake this [for Disney],” Waterfield claimed. “When you see the address for this and you see the trailers and the stills and all that, there is no way everyone is going to think this is a child’s variation of it.”
The previously lovable yellow bear and his sidekick, Piglet, will now be the “main villains … likely on a rampage” right after Christopher Robin leaves them at the rear of for a college or university training.
“Because they’ve had to fend for themselves so a lot, they’ve essentially come to be feral,” Waterfield continued. “So they’ve gone back to their animal roots. They’re no for a longer time tame: They’re like a vicious bear and pig who want to go all-around and test and obtain prey.”
A couple of the stills Waterfield talked about dropped on Thursday, like a shot of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet creeping up driving a bikini-clad female in a scorching tub.
“She’s acquiring a good time and then Pooh and Piglet look at the rear of her, chloroform her, take her out of the jacuzzi and then form of drive a auto over her head,” Waterfield explained.
Social media had a subject day with the visuals — so a great deal so that Waterfield mentioned that ending the undertaking “as fast as we can” is a “high priority.”
Filmed in 10 days in England, Waterfield mentioned audiences “shouldn’t be expecting this to be a Hollywood-level manufacturing.”
Whilst he would not disclose the spending budget for the film, he mentioned audiences ought to be expecting it to trip the line between horror and comedy.
“When you consider and do a film like this, and it is a seriously wacky thought, it’s quite simple to go down a route the place absolutely nothing is terrifying and it’s just truly absurd and seriously, like, stupid,” he stated.
“It’s scary but there is also funny bits due to the fact there’s pictures of Winnie the Pooh in a motor vehicle and seeing him with his very little ears behind the wheel and like little by little likely around there [to kill her],” he continued on the warm tub scene.
The film was also designed with the consciousness that Disney however owns exceptional use of interpretations of Pooh and his pals. That is why the honey-lover will trade his common crimson shirt for a lumberjack suit and Piglet will costume in all black.
Nevertheless, the authentic 1926 stories of the tubby yellow fellow by creator A.A. Milne are now out of copyright and in the community area, so Waterfield relied on that for reference.
“We’ve experimented with to be particularly mindful,” Waterfield. stated “We knew there was this line between that, and we knew what their copyright was and what they’ve performed. So we did as a great deal as we could to make confident [the film] was only based mostly on the 1926 edition of it.”
Waterfield’s Jagged Edge Productions, which he runs with co-producer Scott Jeffrey, made “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.” There is no release day nevertheless.
