In the "Twilight Zone" episode "A Game of Pool", Jack Klugman plays a would-be pool champion named Jesse who feels that he would be more widely recognized for his billiard skills, were he not living in the shadow of the late pool champion James Howard "Fats" Brown. Jesse posits that if he had had the opportunity to play against Fats, he would definitely win. In a supernatural twist, Fats (Jonathan Winters) arrives from the afterlife to accept the challenge. The ensuing game, however, comes with a stipulation: if Jesse wins, he will indeed be granted the lifelong reputation as the greatest pool player of all time. If he loses, he'll die in obscurity. Jesse accepts.
Throughout their game, Fats points out that living well and happily is more important than the hard-edged fame of being a great pool player. Jesse doesn't listen. He wants fame.
Jesse, perhaps shockingly, wins the game.

Olivia Wilde is set to direct the film Naughty, which comes from the scribe behind this year’s Cocaine Bear.
Two films in, Olivia Wilde as a movie director has had to deal with a gigantic amount of issues that ordinarily might be expected to be spread over many more productions. The acclaimed Booksmart and the liked but less acclaimed Don’t Worry Darling are to her name as a director thus far. She’s now chosen the project that’s going to be number three on her list.
It’s a comedy by the name of Naughty, that has come from the pen of a man named Jimmy Warden. He was credited this year with the script for Cocaine Bear, and if he came up with the ambulance sequence, then I’m very happy to buy him a nice coffee.

Universal has landed the Christmas comedy package for Naughty, which is set to be directed by Olivia Wilde and is based on a script by Jimmy Warden.
Warden will continue writing the screenplay for Universal, while producing along with Wilde on the project. There is no word on casting, but the synopsis from Universal points to a mother, Mallory, whose only hope of securing custody of her son from her gaslighting trash-bag ex is to find Santa Claus and convince him to testify in her divorce hearing.
Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara will produce through the LuckyChap banner after their success with Barbie. Wilde most recently directed, starred in and produced Don’t Worry Darling, which went on to earn around $90 million worldwide.
Don’t Worry Darling also starred Florence Pugh and Harry Styles and premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where it dominated media attention.

It's hard to believe it's been 70 years since Fred Zinneman's "From Here to Eternity" came out. Not that we were all there of course, but time has been really kind to the all-star, Best Picture-winning drama. Unlike many of the rah-rah war films emerging from America during and post-World War II, "From Here to Eternity" argues not that war is hell — since most of the movie takes place during peace time — but that men, even in the army, are subconsciously determined to make life hell whether there's a war on or not.

Don Warden was Dolly Parton’s everything. Well, he was her manager. But the Queen of Country thought of him as more than that. They worked on The Porter Wagoner Show together and left at the same time. After that, Warden went to work for Parton for nearly five decades. Warden died on March 11, 2017 at 87 years old. Here’s what the “Coat of Many Colors” singer has to say about her “Mr. Everything.”
Dolly Parton could always count on Don Warden
As Parton wrote her 1994 memoir, Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business, she and Warden had worked together for 25 years.
“Throughout that time, Don has been as solid as a rock, loyal, trustworthy, and constant,” wrote Parton. “I call him ‘Mr. Everything.’

Touted as a mix of Dead by Daylight and Inscryption, Horror Stories: Harvest Hunt sees players step into the role of an appointed Warden tasked with saving the cursed village of Luna Nova.

Crime dramas can sit on a pretty broad spectrum: some are campy, cosy and even comfortingly formulaic, whereas others make you need to sleep with the light on. The one guarantee is that in the UK at least, there’s such an appetite for detectives and crime stories that TV will never run out of new cases to solve.
We’ve already had some top examples in 2023, from the Happy Valley and Endeavour finales to the excellent Belfast-based Blue Lights, but there are plenty more fresh crime dramas on the way, from police procedurals to true crime and murder mysteries. See what’s coming up below.

Last summer in Eastern Texas, a horrific tragedy struck. Three young siblings were pulled out of a neighbor’s pond dead, and believed to have drowned. Then, in March, the incident made national headlines when authorities announced autopsy results showing the sisters had not died by accident — they’d been strangled to death before someone threw their bodies in the pond.
This week, the district attorney of Cass County, Courtney Shelton, told Rolling Stone that her office actually had the autopsy results since last August, days after the girls’ bodies...

With roles in horror films like "The Babysitter," "Ready or Not," and "Scream 6," Australian actor Samara Weaving has earned her status as a scream queen. Up next, she's set to star in the comedic thriller "Borderline," which her husband, Jimmy Warden, is writing and directing. But it's not the first time the couple have worked on a project together. Warden actually helped produce both "Babysitter" films, which is how the couple first crossed paths, according to Daily Mail.
Weaving and Warden met on the set of "The Babysitter" in 2015 and began dating shortly afterward. They were reportedly together for three years before the "Cocaine Bear" writer asked Weaving to marry him in 2019. While she didn't confirm they'd tied the knot until 2022, Warden hinted on Instagram that the couple had secretly said "I do" the same year they got engaged.

Samara Weaving has been a scream queen, an action star, and now, the embodiment of multiple real-life feminist icons.
First up, the “Ready or Not” breakout star portrays French aristocrat Marie-Joséphine de Montalembert in this week’s new release “Chevalier” opposite Kelvin Harrison Jr. After that, Weaving will transform into former Playboy bunny Holly Madison for limited series “Down the Rabbit Hole,” and will then travel back in time once more to play Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte in “Liz.”
“Maybe I’m a masochist. You read a really good script or a really good pitch and you can’t say no to it,” Weaving told IndieWire of her period piece nods to real people. “Elizabeth Bonaparte, I’m a huge fan of [director] Adam Leon’s work. ‘Italian Studies’ is one of my favorite movies, so just working with him is going to be awesome.

Elizabeth Banks directs from a script by Jimmy Warden about a massive black bear that rampages through the woods after finding bags of cocaine in the woods.
If you’re unaware of the true story that inspires Cocaine Bear, well, it’s a doozy. In 1985, convicted drug smuggler Andrew Thornton was on a smuggling run from Columbia and had dumped several packages full of cocaine before jumping from the plane himself. Unfortunately, he hit his head on the tail of the aircraft and wound up in a free fall to the ground, where he was found dead in someone’s driveway. Several months later, authorities discovered a 175-pound black...

Forget Leonardo DiCaprio crawling on all fours in The Wolf of Wall Street; the funniest portrayal of drugs on film is an American black bear throwing famed character actor Margo Martindale from an out-of-control ambulance before hoovering up a mountain of blow. Within the space of a week, Elizabeth Banks’s comedy horror film Cocaine Bear has rampaged, gakked-up and bug-eyed, into the annals of drug-movie classics. And, if we’re being frank, it’s mostly because of the film’s title.
“We were definitely expecting a lot of resistance to the title,” says producer Chris Miller, who with his partner Phil Lord has helped shepherd into cinemas high-concept features such as Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and The Lego Movie for more than a decade. “We were expecting a call at some point telling us that we couldn’t actually call it Cocaine Bear – it’d have to be ‘The...

And why would you? Cocaine Bear perfectly sums up the recently released movie by Elizabeth Banks, but when you choose that title, you’d better deliver. Cocaine Bear writer Jimmy Warden spoke with THR and said that he never once considered giving the movie another title.
“There was never a question in my mind,” Jimmy Warden said. “Why wouldn’t we call it Cocaine Bear? It’s not every day that a title comes your way that describes the movie in two words. You understand exactly what it is and what you want it to be.” I’m reminded of Snakes on a Plane being briefly changed to Pacific Air Flight 121 before Samuel L. Jackson demanded that it be returned to the original title. Thankfully, Cocaine Bear has fared better than Snakes on a Plane.

“There was never a question in my mind,” says writer Jimmy Warden. “Why wouldn’t we call it Cocaine Bear?”
Warden’s movie is about a black bear who ingests copious amounts of — you guessed it — cocaine and goes on a murderous rampage. Says the writer of the movie that is roaring at the box office this weekend, “It’s not every day that a title comes your way that describes the movie in two words. You understand exactly what it is and what you want it to be.”
Warden came to the true story that inspired his screenplay by way of Twitter. As the tale goes, a black bear was found in the forests of Georgia in 1985 surrounded by 40 opened containers of cocaine. The drugs were traced back to Andrew Thornton, a convicted drug smuggler, who was believed to have piloted an aircraft loaded with the illegal drugs, some...

This post contains spoilers for "Cocaine Bear."
In "Cocaine Bear," middle-schoolers Dee Dee (Brooklynn Prince) and Henry (Christian Convery) skip school and do drugs — but it's not what it sounds like. Sure, Dee Dee is a bit of a rebel, but only because her mom, Sari (Keri Russell), changed their weekend plans to hang out with her new boyfriend. In protest, Dee Dee recruits her best friend to hike through Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest and spray paint a waterfall. As Henry snarkily points out, it's a thinly-veiled attempt to win back her mom's attention; Dee Dee hopes that when Sari realizes she's run off by herself, she'll feel bad about canceling. But things take a turn when the two kids discover a package of cocaine and get attacked by a bear.
You heard the title, right? This isn't just any bear — it's a bear with a drug problem and a bad case of the munchies.

When is a true story not a true story? When it’s “Cocaine Bear,” now playing in theaters courtesy of Universal Pictures. Directed by Elizabeth Banks and penned by Jimmy Warden, the not-quite-true story concerns a black bear minding her own business who stumbles upon cocaine dropped from a drug-smuggling plane. The bear gets high on the supply and eventually threatens to turn a dozen or so small-towners into lunch meat.
“Cocaine Bear” is very loosely based on a true-life crime story that occurred in the forests of America in 1985. A 175-pound American black bear was found dead in northern Georgia having overdosed on cocaine. The drugs were dropped out of a plane by smugglers in Tennessee, and the unlucky bear stumbled upon the ill-gotten goods, sampled the product and promptly dropped dead. The so-called “cocaine bear,” also known as “Pablo Eskobear,” was stuffed and displayed at a mall in Kentucky.

In what is the second killer bear movie in as many weeks -- "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" was the other -- Elizabeth Banks' "Cocaine Bear" is a wonderfully blunt, refreshingly straightforward grindhouse horror/comedy about, well, a bear on cocaine. Based on a real-life 1985 incident of a black bear eating a $15 million stash of abandoned cocaine, Banks' film extrapolates that the bear in question went on a crazed murder spree after consuming the drugs. Not only did the bear get high, but it immediately got addicted, fiendishly tearing through the Kentucky woods looking for more bricks of cocaine that had been thrown out of a drug dealer's plane. It even thought to give some cocaine to its cubs. In real life, the bear merely died.
Perhaps a mild spoiler, but at the end of the film, the bear survives. The drug dealers who went looking for their missing cocaine were either viciously mauled,...

The year is off to a hot start with 2023’s first big budget blockbuster, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, released and performing well with $104 million in its opening weekend, and this week brings in the tongue-in-cheek comedy animal attack film Cocaine Bear. Our review from Chris Bumbray praises the start-to-finish fun energy of the Elizabeth Banks-directed movie. Variety now reports about the Thursday preview taking in $2 million on 3,000 screens and expands to 3,534 nationwide today.
The movie was projected to make between $15 million and $17 million, with $20 million at the most, thanks to good word-of-mouth buzz and the best meme-worthy concept this side of Snakes on a Plane. This is a great pace for the film, as the budget came in at around $35 million, with most being spent on the CGI bear.

“Cocaine Bear” is snorting up a solid opening weekend. The R-rated action-comedy earned $2 million in Thursday previews at the domestic box office. It opened in 3,000 North American theaters Thursday night and will expand to 3,534 on Friday.
Universal’s bloody, real-life tale about a black bear on a cocaine-fueled rampage is projected to open with $15 million to $17 million this weekend. Some predictions have it opening with as much as $20 million, thanks to its positive word-of-mouth (or word-of-snout) and memeability online. The mid-budget film cost roughly $35 million, with much of it used on the CGI bear, so a launch in the upper teens would be a good sign.
“Cocaine Bear” will have to settle for second place, though, as last week’s major release, Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” will continue to reign over the box office. The superhero sequel opened to $120 million domestically and $249 million globally over the long President’s Day weekend.

It’s the sort of title that sells itself: “Cocaine Bear.” It’s about a bear…who does cocaine. Who says the movies aren’t original anymore? But while that tempting two-word title sure sounds funny and frisky and different, imagine being the guy who pitched the initial story. If you think it’s wild that a film called “Cocaine Bear” got made — and is in theaters right now — you’re feeling a bit like its own creator: screenwriter Jimmy Warden.
Just picture those early pitches. “I think everybody was like, “Ok…great,’ when I was writing the movie, like, ‘Good luck with that,’ and then as it just kept gaining momentum, they have gotten pretty excited,” Warden said in recent interview with IndieWire. “I actually will say, to their credit, when I pitched it to [my family] — you know, because you go home for Thanksgiving or whatever it is and they’re like,...

In an age of big C-suite visions of streaming power and total global market domination, Universal Pictures has spent the first two months of 2023 seemingly shrugging their shoulders and saying “so what?” Rather than betting on the next phase of another shared universe, or sending films straight to Peacock, the studio has unleashed a trio of cheeky (and now sleazy) theatrical throwbacks: M3GAN, Knock at the Cabin, and this weekend’s human-chomping Cocaine Bear.
The first two defied conventional wisdom with their respective camp and solemnity, proving that even B-movies released wide at the beginning of the year don’t have to suck. There was actual wit at play in the sight of a killer doll doing a pseudo-pirouette, or Dave Bautista channeling his inner-street corner evangelist. More impressive still, those movies made money.

Cocaine Bear is exactly what you want, need, and expect it to be. Director Elizabeth Banks assembled a cast willing to just go for it, and together they’ve delivered one of the funniest, most insane R-rated horror / comedy / thriller / crime caper / buddy comedy / cautionary tale / coming-of-age films in history. Of course, it helps that there are very few, if any, films that have dipped their toes into that many genres all at once and been successful while doing so.
Cocaine Bear’s very loosely inspired by a true story. Fact: In 1985, a 175-pound black bear, now lovingly referred to as Pablo Escobear, did ingest cocaine that had fallen from a plane. Fact: The bricks of cocaine tumbled into the bear’s path after drug smuggler Andrew Thornton (played by The Americans’ Matthew Rhys in a brief but memorable cameo) tossed them from a plane and then followed them out.

Cocaine Bear prides itself on an outlandish concept that combines a black bear with an impossible amount of cocaine that leads to a whole lot of carnage. Elizabeth Banks steps behind the camera to bring Jimmy Warden’s screenplay to life, giving an additional gloss to this black comedy that one wouldn’t expect to see come from a major Hollywood studio.

The title says it all. Just like Snakes on a Plane was about just that, the new horror comedy Cocaine Bear is about a 500-pound bear on a jihad after coming upon a ton of cocaine dropped into rural Georgia on a drug run gone wrong. The bear ingests the coke, and soon you have a beast roaring out of control and devouring whatever human comes onto his path. It is all not to be taken seriously, but fortunately director Elizabeth Banks is smart enough to give audiences hungry for a Jaws in the wilderness some nice scares mixed in with the laughs plus a bit more bang for their buck than just a marketable title.

Universal Pictures is giving director Elizabeth Banks’ “character-driven thriller” Cocaine Bear a theatrical release tomorrow, February 24th (you can read some early reactions Here), and some movie-goers are already hoping for a follow-up that would be called Cocaine Shark. It remains to be seen is there’s going to be a sequel at all, let alone one that would go aquatic, but during a conversation with Variety screenwriter Jimmy Warden (who happens to be married to genre icon Samara Weaving) confirmed that he has ideas for multiple sequels.
When asked if he has a sequel in mind, Warden replied, “Yeah, for sure. Not just a sequel. Many sequels. Cocaine Bear in Space is where we would probably end.“
When the interviewer said they couldn’t tell if he was kidding or not, Warden continued: “No, I’m f*cking with you about Cocaine Bear Goes to Space. But for the sequels,...

This article contains light spoilers for House of the Dragon episode 10 and some future events in Fire & Blood.
Peace was never an option for Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) and Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke).
It was always obvious that a civil war between the Blacks and the Greens was coming on House of the Dragon. Stories about happy mixed families who learn to co-exist with one another is not really George R.R. Martin’s whole vibe. Not only that but the show’s producers were upfront that the series would be covering the event know as the “Dance of the Dragons” before the first episode even aired. Now, as of episodes 9 and 10, the war is finally here and it’s already proven to be a costly one.
The loss of life seen in House of the Dragon season 1’s final act is just an appetizer for the real carnage to come.

If "From Here to Eternity" has one defining legacy, it would be the tapestry of characters and storylines it presents. Following three separate threads, which are all given a time in the spotlight, every actor in the core ensemble gets a complete arc. In fact, the broad attention to its characters would reflect in the career opportunities that opened for each of those actors following the movie's critical and box office success.
Like any movie about Pearl Harbor, "From Here to Eternity" is a tragedy. For 1953, and especially with the Hays Code restricting its use of violence and obscenity, its depiction of the Japanese attack in its last few minutes is brutal, with enemy planes shown gunning down soldiers point-blank. But even with these brief moments of carnage, the more prominently featured tragedies are in the characters' personal lives.

Streaming services like HBO Max are under fire for mistreating animation studios and creators, but Disney's been a quiet canary in that coal mine. "The Owl House" is a spectacular series about a world of wild magic, and it's never afraid to deal with tough topics like betrayal and emotional abuse. Its story treats its diverse and Lgtbq+ cast with refreshing acceptance. Unfortunately, it's also slated to end with a third season consisting of only three 40-minute episodes. This doesn't stop Disney from trotting out the series for promotion during Pride Month. Creator Dana Terrace is quick to point out the cancellation is likely due to the show's darkness and plot complexity, not any bigotry on the Mouse's part.
That rings hollow for fans desperate for more Eda and Luz, and if you're not a fan yet, you should be. It's a terrific show for anyone, and dark enough to delight older kids.

Samara Weaving has lined up her latest genre project, and hopefully, it'll be less of a bloodbath than 2019's "Ready Or Not." No, actually, I take that back — Samara Weaving kicked butt in that hilarious horror flick, and it would be great to see her gear up for another fight to the death. Weaving is already set to appear in the upcoming sixth "Scream" movie, which will reunite her with "Ready Or Not" directors Tyler Gillett and Mat Bettinelli-Olpin, so why not double down and put her survivalist skills to the test? While her upcoming film isn't quite ticking the horror box, it certainly veers into very familiar territory by telling the story of a woman just barely evading tense circumstances to survive.

Genre regular Samara Weaving has a role in Scream 6, which just recently finished filming – and she’s already hard at work on another genre project, the comedic thriller Borderline. Variety reports that Borderline is currently filming in Vancouver, with The Babysitter: Killer Queen writer Jimmy Warden at the helm, making his feature directorial debut.
Warden’s Borderline script, which was once featured on the Black List, centers on
a helplessly romantic sociopath who escapes from a mental institution and invades the home of a ’90s pop superstar. He just wants to be loved; she just wants to survive.
Weaving is joined in the cast by Eric Dane (Euphoria), Ray Nicholson (Something from Tiffany’s), Alba Baptista (Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris), and Jimmie Fails (The Last Black Man in San Francisco).
