Elizabeth Banks’ new thriller comes out in 2020. Until then…
It was announced this past week that Elizabeth Banks will direct a movie called Cocaine Bear, a thriller based on a true story. Yeah. It’s hard to believe it, but in 1985 a drug smuggler ditched 70 pounds from a plane into the wilds of Georgia. That blow was then discovered by a bear.
