The director of the upcoming Winnie the Pooh horror film has confirmed that he needs to make a “twisted” horror universe with different childhood characters getting became monsters. After Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey releases on February 15, there could possibly be many extra movies prefer it to come back.
Rhys Frake-Waterfield instructed The Hollywood Reporter that certainly one of these can be a Peter Pan film that includes a “heavily obese” Tinkerbell who’s recovering from drug use. Another film is Bambi: The Reckoning, which depicts the lovable child deer as a killing machine. If Frake-Waterfield’s imaginative and prescient involves life, we would see crossovers like Marvel does with its superhero characters.
“The idea is that we’re going to try and imagine they’re all in the same world, so we can have crossovers,” he mentioned. “People have been messaging saying they really want to see Bambi versus Pooh.”
While Pooh, Bambi, and Peter Pan are associated to Disney–but are actually within the public domain–Frake-Waterfield mentioned he has plans for different tales, too.
“There are many, many, many other ideas out there which aren’t tied to Disney, loads of old fairytales and urban legends, concepts that are synonymous with your childhood, and they’re the ones which I want to build up into a twisted alternative reality,” he mentioned.
In Blood and Honey, Craig David Dowsett and Chris Cordell star as humanoid variations of Pooh and Piglet. Christopher Robin, performed by Nikolai Leon, leaves them behind when he goes off to school. Pooh and Piglet flip feral, returning to their animal roots, getting down to kill folks for meals. This childhood-ruining film is getting a restricted theatrical launch within the US starting February 15.
