When an idea for a printed shirt becomes a movie.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively reveal the first stills from Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, the follow-up to the micro-budget British slasher that went viral last year for its childhood-bludgeoning premise, became one of the most talked about films of 2023 and would earn $5.2 million in the global box office after costing under $100,000 to make.

Currently in production, the sequel comes with a bigger budget, more kills and even an Olivier Award-winning, BAFTA-nominated star in the form of Simon Callow (Four Weddings and a Funeral), who has joined the cast.

Alongside Callow, Tallulah Evans has joined the cast and will lead the film, starring alongside Scott Chambers (Doctor Jekyll, Malpractice) as Christopher Robin, Ryan Olivia (Seasoning House) as Winnie-the-Pooh, and Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) as Young Winnie-the-Pooh.

“After speaking with Rhys and hearing his vision — his desire to push boundaries in terms of production scope, and to craft a really unique, twisty plot that also gave significant depth to the characters — I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of,” said Leslie, who was the writer/producer of 2018 Sundance Midnight selection Summer of 84 and the co-writer/director of upcoming supernatural horror Don’t Open the Door.

Alongside Leslie, also joining behind the camera on the slasher sequel is Shaune Harrison (World War Z, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones) who serves as head of creature and gore designer, and Paula Anne Booker who will oversee SFX.

I truly think people will really dig what we are creating,” said producer Scott Jeffrey, who himself is directing an upcoming low-budget slasher adaptation of Bambi, part of an entire universe of X-rated versions of beloved childhood stories.

its so bad though.. i mean, it was a great idea but the lack of original IP kinda makes this a generic slasher. it only earned as much on the rumor of the original IP.. i doubt a sequel will be any better or as profitable.

I have literally never heard of the original movie.

Do 'journalists' just get to decide something is massively popular because two people talked about it on social media?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Funny how you universally decide something isn't well known just because you didn't know it, while bashing others for hypothetically doing the same.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

In my circle's it was well known.

Your individual knowledge or ignorance of the movie, doesn't mean anything to its popularity.

I'm sure there are many very popular things, which you and I both know nothing about.

What rock have you been living under? I could not escape this movie when the discourse was at its peak. I can absolutely believe it was one of the most talked about movies.

I didn't hold too much hope for the first one before i saw it, but it turned out to be pretty all right. The second one should be all right too i hope.
