Movie Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey is about to be released, and the details of one of the most curious performances of the year are beginning to be revealed. The plot, directly based on the children’s saga of A. A. Milne, returns to the cinema in the form of a horror fantasy. According to history, Winnie Pooh and Piglet end up turning into wild creatures after being abandoned by Christopher Robin. As if that wasn’t enough, the latest information about the movie makes it clear that both end up devouring Eeyore (Igor in his Spanish version).
Film about Winnie the Pooh, directed by new director Rhys Frake-Waterfield, is a genre film reimagining of the original story. This is officially the first product to come from a copyright disclosure of Milne’s work. A few weeks ago, his first photos hit the Internet. made quite a stir. Especially the images in which Pooh and the Tiger turned into gloomy nightmarish creatures. As if that wasn’t enough, another image seemed to suggest that the two were about to kill a woman who was taking a bath in the jacuzzi.
The first cruel act that Pooh and Tiger will commit will be eating Eeyore.
As crazy as it sounds, this project seems to be a lot more complex than its crazy premise would suggest. In fact, director Reese Frake-Waterfield used several of the saga’s key moments to create a sinister world. One that even includes the brutal murder of one of the central characters. So commented to Dread Central the director, delving into the most important moments of the film. In particular, the first cruel act that Pooh and Tiger will commit will be eating Eeyore. It is very important for the director that the version “breaks all the patterns and represents a new world.” Something he hopes to achieve by tapping into the darkest spaces of the horror genre with this Winnie the Pooh.
From Honey to Blood: Pooh’s Path to Horror Movies
Rhys Frake-Waterfield, also a writer of the end, is determined to recreate Milne’s childhood world from a sinister point of view. In fact, always according to Dread Central, the movie starts with Pooh and Piglet killing Eeyore/Igor. The cute melancholic donkey from the original story will be the first victim of famous characters. Both turned into wild creatures must be killed to eat. According to the British director, this will cause them to gradually lose their “sense of goodness”.
In fact, Freik-Waterfield shared in an interview that can be considered the first synopsis of the film. As promised by the first photos, the film will be a string of horrors. But also a review with curious details of the original story Winnie the Pooh. Oddly enough, the film’s small crew decided to create something that looked like an alternate universe. One of them is also closely related to the idea of how terrible even the cutest baby images can be.
“Pooh and Piglet stop eating like they used to when Christopher (Robin) gets older. Over the years they became more and more hungry and wild. They had to resort to eating Eeyore. So, Christopher returns to his wife to introduce her to his old friends. And when it does, they get angry when they see it. All the hatred they have accumulated over the years breaks free, and then they fall into a rage. This continues when they get into this rural house with these girls (the same ones that could be seen in the photographs).”
Horror from a seemingly innocent story in Winnie the Pooh
The film will certainly play with an element of extreme horror as well as the condition of the fantastic to create something new on top of the source material. And even though it’s a precarious budget production, the group behind the camera is ready to be transported to unique horror cinema locations. As shown by the director and writers, both Pooh and Piglet are unstoppable creatures, “sadists without any remorse, instead of being loving and friendly.”
As if all of the above wasn’t enough, they’ll be twisted enough to kill and ridicule their victims. According to Freke-Waterfield, his version of Winnie the Pooh will look more like Chucky than expected. And this, according to the director, is “good news.”
