DESCRIPTION
Directed by Elizabeth Banks and inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner's plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild dark comedy finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500- pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow... and blood. For Cocaine Bear, Mothersbaugh wanted a score that reflected and captured the culture of the '80s, with a personality that evolved as the decade's music evolved. "At the beginning of the film, it starts out very pop," Mothersbaugh says. "But as it goes through it, it gets heavier. The guitars change up from being acoustic and lighter to being distorted and more aggressive and there are synths throughout that provide a pulse that keeps things moving."
