The story was buried for many years until screenwriter Jimmy Warden delivered to producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller a script titled “Cocaine Bear.” They loved it. The film’s trailer has been watched more than 25 million times. The movie, like the illegitimate love child of ‘Airplane’ and National Lampoon, is stoked by a glorious tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, “I’m the bear who ate cocaine,” reads one of the film’s official tweets. “This is my story.”
