Its Quite Funny What I Would Do for Honey Winnie the Pooh
A.A. Milne's original "Winnie the Pooh" stories merely lapsed into the public domain five months ago, only the tubby little cubby has already fabricated his foray into slasher films.
"Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" wrapped before this month, and the kickoff stills showing a demonic Pooh and Piglet about to pounce on a scantily-clad young adult female relaxing in a hot tub have already set the internet on burn down.
In an interview with Multifariousness, director Rhys Waterfield, who is in post-production on four other films including "Firenado" and "Demonic Christmas Tree," said the response to the stills has been "absolutely crazy."
"Because of all the printing and stuff, we're just going to offset expediting the edit and getting it through mail service production as fast equally nosotros can," said Waterfield. "But also, making sure it's nevertheless good. It's gonna be a high priority."
According to Waterfield, who as well wrote and co-produced the motion picture, "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" volition run across Pooh and Piglet as "the main villains…going on a binge" after existence abandoned by a higher-leap Christopher Robin. "Christopher Robin is pulled abroad from them, and he's not [given] them food, it'southward made Pooh and Piglet's life quite difficult."
"Because they've had to fend for themselves then much, they've essentially become feral," Waterfield continued. "So they've gone dorsum to their animal roots. They're no longer tame: they're like a savage deport and pig who want to go around and try and find casualty."
The film was shot in 10 days in England, not far from Ashdown Wood, the inspiration for Milne's imaginary Hundred Acre Woods in the "Winnie the Pooh" stories. Although Waterfield declined to reveal the budget for the slasher flick, he said audiences "shouldn't be expecting this to exist a Hollywood-level production." Jagged Edge Productions, which Waterfield runs with co-producer Scott Jeffrey, made the moving-picture show, and ITN Studios have already signed on to distribute it (a release date is TBD).
Given the premise, the biggest challenge, Waterfield said, was balancing the line between horror and one-act. "When you effort and do a film like this, and it'south a really wacky concept, it's very like shooting fish in a barrel to go down a road where nix is scary and it's merely really ridiculous and actually, like, stupid. And nosotros wanted to go between the two."

Equally an example, Waterfield explained the fix-up behind the still (above) of a girl relaxing in a jacuzzi with Pooh and Piglet ominously standing nearby. "She's having a skillful time and then Pooh and Piglet appear backside her, chloroform her, take her out of the jacuzzi and then kind of drive a car over her head," Waterfield said. "Information technology'south scary only in that location's also funny bits considering in that location's shots of Winnie the Pooh in a car and seeing him with his little ears behind the wheel and like slowly going over there [to kill her.]"
The only worry, specially with all the new-found publicity, is whether Disney will accept anything to say near "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey." Although Milne'southward earliest stories are now out of copyright, Disney retains exclusive use of their interpretations of Pooh Comport and his friends. "We've tried to be extremely careful," said Waterfield. "We knew there was this line between that, and we knew what their copyright was and what they've done. So we did as much equally we could to make certain [the film] was merely based on the 1926 version of it."
Which is why Waterfield's Pooh Acquit has swapped the little cherry-red t-shirt for a lumberjack suit and Piglet is clad in blackness. It's also why other characters however in copyright, such equally Tigger, will not appear — although there is a scene featuring Eeyore'due south tombstone, the miserable donkey having been eaten past a starving Pooh and Piglet.
"No one is going to mistake this [for Disney]," Waterfield said. "When you see the embrace for this and you come across the trailers and the stills and all that, in that location'south no way anyone is going to think this is a child's version of it."
