Cocaine Bear is a, “dark comedy”, based on the true story of a 175-pound black bear killed by consuming 40 kilos of pure cocaine in Chattahoochee National Forest in Georgia, USA.
The famous bear has been stuffed and is now one of the state’s biggest tourist attractions.
Filming takes place on location in Co. Wicklow from August to mid-autumn and will be released sometime next year.
