Je hebt net de titel van dit bericht gelezen en denkt: what the actual fuck. Winnie de Poeh horror? Dat is een grapje toch? Neen. Helaas. Er komt daadwerkelijk een horrorfilm over ieders favoriete honingminnende knuffelbeer. Dit is Winnie zoals je hem nog nooit eerder zag, en eigenlijk ook nooit had wíllen zien…
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey
Dat is de titel van de horrorfilm die we binnenkort kunnen bekijken. Als dat je ding is. Dit is waar de film over gaat:
During his childhood, Christopher Robin befriended Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, and their friends, playing games and also providing them with food. As he grew, these visits grew more infrequent, as did the food supply, causing Pooh and the others to grow increasingly hungry and desperate. When Christopher went to college, the visits stopped completely, causing them to become completely feral and unhinged, resulting in Eeyore getting killed at some point. Now, Christopher has returned to the forest alongside his new wife, hoping to introduce her to his old friends. This causes them to go on a murderous rampage for human flesh as they antagonize a group of university girls who are occupying a rural cabin.
Dit is… Cabin in the Woods meets Christopher Robin meets Friday the 13th?
Maar Disney heeft toch de rechten?
In een interview met Variety zegt regisseur Rhys Waterfield daar het volgende over:
We’ve tried to be extremely careful. We knew there was this line between that, and we knew what their copyright was and what they’ve done. So we did as much as we could to make sure [the film] was only based on the 1926 version of it.
Daarom zien we in de Winnie de Poeh horror de niet zo knuffelige beer niet zijn iconische rode shirt dragen (maar een rood geruit overhemd) en is Knorretje helemaal in het zwart gekleed.
