Winnie the Pooh, known to many as a cute hero in his childhood, is a character who lives in 100 Acre Forest and befriends a boy named Christopher Robin. While the rights to this character have been with Disney for a very long time, this year the copyrights expired and it became public property. So anyone who wanted could use Winnie the Pooh.
One of the first names to take advantage of this situation, director Rhys Waterfield announced the horror movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, starring Winnie the Pooh and Piglett. The first trailer for the movie has also been released.
Shouldn’t Christopher Robin read it?
As seen in the trailer, we see that on the basis of the events, Christopher Robin is now growing up and leaving his home for university education. After Robin’s departure, Winnie and Piglett take on a more brutal nature, away from the influence of their human friends.
The director of the film, in his statement, says that the tone of the production will be suitable for the absurdity of the main idea and suitable for creating a realistic horror experience. “When you want to make a movie like this—which is a really weird concept—it’s very easy to go down a path where nothing is terrible and it’s really just embarrassing, silly. We wanted to do something in-between,” Waterfield said. used his statements.
Waterfield is also producing the film with Scott Jeffrey. The film, produced by the duo’s studio, Jagged Edge Productions, will be distributed by ITN Studios. The movie will be released later in the year.
