New Details on the Upcoming Sadistic Film WINNIE THE POOH: BLOOD AND HONEY
Not long ago, we learned that there’s a Winnie the Pooh horror film in production titled Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. This is what happens when beloved properties like this slip into the public domain, anyone can do anything they want with it.
Rhys Frake-Waterfield directed the film, and when previously talking about the story, he said:
“Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey will see Pooh and Piglet as the main villains…going on a rampage after being abandoned by a college-bound Christopher Robin. Christopher Robin is pulled away from them, and he’s not [given] them food, it’s made Pooh and Piglet’s life quite difficult.
“Because they’ve had to fend for themselves so much, they’ve essentially become feral. So they’ve gone back to their animal roots. They’re no longer tame: they’re like a vicious bear and pig who want to go around and try and find prey.”
He offered some additional details in a recent interview with Dread Central regarding Pooh and Piglet and the kind of relationship that they have in the story:
"Pooh and Piglet, they don't have any remorse, and they're actually pretty sadistic. That was something I wanted from the characters. It's always been just Pooh and Piglet. I've imagined, and got the actors, to portray that Pooh as the alpha of the two. So he's the alpha male over Piglet, and he is always the one in charge of the camp. Piglet essentially is almost a little minion to him, and Piglet just does whatever Pooh wants. And they've built up this over the years. They've built up these really sadistic tendencies amongst themselves. So they used to just go out and just target people to kill them, to eat them as a way of living ... just food basically."
This movie is going to be really weird, and I have to watch it just to see what kind of sadistic trainwreck it will be.
