‘Winnie the Pooh’ Slasher Film Gets a Deranged, Bloody Trailer

 

Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey

Oh, bother. The first trailer for “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” has been released, revealing more of the slasher makeover of everyone’s favorite honey-obsessed bear.

The movie stars Craig David Dowsett and Chris Cordell as Winnie and his best friend Piglet, who go on a rampage after Christopher Robin (Nikolai Leon) abandons them for college. Without the influence of their human friend, the two turn feral, seeking prey and stalking the humans near their homes. The trailer showcases the characters on their rampage, revealing more of the twisted interpretation of A.A. Milne’s beloved characters.

As director Rhys Waterfield revealed in an interview with Variety, the film was shot over the course of 10 days near the Ashdown Forest in England, the inspiration for the Hundred Acre Woods as depicted in Milne’s original stories, which only entered the public domain this year. To avoid copyright issues with Disney — which owns the interpretations of the character as seen in various films and television shows — certain elements were changed, including swapping Pooh Bear’ red shirt for lumberjack gear and omitting characters like Tigger who are still under copyright.

Describing the tone of the movie, Waterfield told Variety that the slasher will balance the absurdity of the premise with genuine terror as the legendary stuffed animals embark on their rampage.

“When you try and do a film like this, and it’s a really wacky concept, it’s very easy to go down a route where nothing is scary and it’s just really ridiculous and really, like, stupid,” Waterfield said. “And we wanted to go between the two.”

Waterfield produces “Blood and Honey” with Scott Jeffrey via their studio Jagged Edge Productions. ITN Studios will distribute the pic, which is set to release later this year. Watch the trailer below.

  In the quite a while since the terrible and irksome end of Princess Diana, her legacy has represented a possible danger in the world's total imaginative brain. Her brief anyway extraordinarily open time as a renowned has given wearisome social inspiration — and it is very simple to see the reason why.

Make sure you're by a TV Monday night for Serena Williams' first-round match at the U.S. Open. It very well may be the last time we at any point get to see the GOAT in real life. Catch up speedy: Williams, 40, said earlier this month that she plans to "develop away from tennis" after the U.S. Open. Accordingly, each match could be her last. Up first? World No. 80 Danka Kovinić of Montenegro (7pm ET, ESPN). What they're saying: "When Serena was playing in the past, the atmosphere already was electric, so I can't imagine what it'll be out there currently," said seventeenth seed Caroline Garcia.

Review: Michael K. Williams’ final film role in ‘Breaking’

1 of 7 This image released by Bleecker Street shows John Boyega in a scene from "Breaking." (Bleecker Street via AP) "Breaking" Abi Damaris Corbin’s lean and heartfelt first feature, is a lackluster bank-robbery thriller with noble intentions enlivened by an impassioned performance by John Boyega and an elegiac final appearance by the late Michael K. Williams. It’s not until well into “Breaking” that Williams, as a police negotiator, turns up. But the actor,  who died last year , immediately reorients and deepens the film. As a sensitive ear to Boyega’s former Marine, who’s holed up inside an Atlanta-area Wells Fargo bank, Williams and his soulful, melancholy eyes bring a rush of empathy to the film, the white hair on his beard one last reminder of all the wise older characters the “Wire” actor might have gone on to play. “Breaking,” which opens in theaters Friday, may go down primarily as a footnote in Williams’ career but it’s also a showcase for Boyega,  an acto...
