‘Attack of the Meth Gator’ – The Asylum Teases Their Own ‘Cocaine Bear’ Mockbuster
With Cocaine Bear now playing in theaters, it was only a matter of time before The Asylum whipped up their own “mockbuster” take on the buzzy horror-comedy. And indeed they’ve unleashed the first look at that upcoming project today: Attack of the Meth Gator!
The Asylum tweets, “Hold our bear… I mean, beer. Coming for your life this summer.”
Along with the tweet is early poster art for Attack of the Meth Gator, which presumably centers on an alligator who ingests a whole bunch of meth and eats a whole bunch of people.
Is The Asylum just messing with us all? In a follow-up tweet from their official account, the studio promises that the film is very much real, and we wouldn’t expect anything less.
The Asylum is the company behind horror movies including Snakes on a Train, 2-Headed Shark Attack, Atlantic Rim, Sharknado, and Aquarium of the Dead, and they’ve become known for capitalizing on Hollywood success stories with their own low-budget knockoffs. Needless to say, a film like Attack of the Meth Gator is extremely on-brand for The Asylum.
The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with a handful of upcoming “Poohniverse” movies, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Variety has scored the first image from Neverland Nightmare, seen above.
The website details, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who in this twisted version of the story will be seen taking heroine, convinced that it’s pixie dust.”
Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, expected Halloween 2024.
Jeffrey tells us, “I am taking inspiration from French cinema while in prep for this movie. The film will be incredibly tense. I would say it’s a mesh between Switchblade Romance and The Black Phone with our own spin on it. It is a nasty, violent and incredibly dark movie.”
Megan Placito has joined the cast as Wendy Darling, Kit Green is Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) is Michael Darling and Charity Kase (RuPaul Drag Race) is James. Martin Portlock will be playing the twisted version of Peter Pan.
Created by J.M. Barrie way back in 1902, the character of Peter Pan – like Winnie the Pooh – is in the public domain, even if the iconic Disney iteration of the character is very much not.
