A Cocaine Bear mockbuster titled Attack of the Meth Gator has been announced by The Asylum, the same studio responsible for the Sharknado franchise.
Soon after its strong opening weekend, a ridiculous-sounding Cocaine Bear mockbuster titled Attack of the Meth Gator has been announced by the same studio responsible for the Sharknado franchise. Loosely inspired by a true story, Cocaine Bear follows the titular black bear who ingests a shipment of cocaine and goes on a drug-fueled rampage throughout Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Now, fresh off its opening weekend, a Cocaine Bear mockbuster has been announced in an effort to capitalize off its current popularity. The Asylum, the low-budget production company responsible for the Sharknado franchise, announced that they will be releasing Attack of the Meth Gator this summer, accompanied by a poster for the film. Faced with a fury of questions about whether this ridiculous-sounding project is actually real, the studio clarified that it is.
Cocaine Bear's success also means that copycat movies and mockbusters might ensue. The Asylum is perhaps best known for the Sharknado franchise, though the studio specializes in mockbusters, which are low-budget movies created to capitalize on a major motion picture with a similar subject and title. A few of the studio's most famous examples include 2009's Transmorphers: Fall of Man, 2010's Titanic II, and 2016's Independents' Day.
