Cannes: ‘Bambi’ Slasher Adaptation From ‘Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey’ Creators Sells Wide

Quote:

A low-budget, x-rated cinematic universe of bloody adaptations of beloved childhood stories is taking (twisted) shape.

Bambi: The Reckoning, from the producers of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (which grossed more than $6 million globally after going viral), has sold to a number of international territories, with hopes that it can achieve a similar success to their first microbudget slasher sensation. The plot is set to involve a mutated killer deer in the vein of Cujo.

Premiere Entertainment has licensed rights involving theatrical components to the creature feature in Mexico and Latin America (Cinemex), Germany and Italy (Plaion), France (Crome Films), Benelux (Movie Company), Scandinavia (Njuta Films), Russia/CIS (Voxell Films), Australia and New Zealand (Umbrella), Japan (Hark), Taiwan (AV-Jet), Middle East (Eagle Films), Turkey (BG Film), Pakistan (Cine Entertainment), India and airlines (PictureWorks).

Bambi: The Reckoning is based on the title character created by Felix Salten in his 1923 coming-of-age novel Bambi, a Life in the Woods, which has now entered the public domain. Scott Jeffrey is directing and producing with Rhys Frake-Waterfield for Jagged Edge Productions, while Stuart Alson and Nicole Holland serve as executive producers for ITN Studios.

ITN will handle distribution in North America, with principal photography scheduled for the summer.

If they had a good enough director and a little more money, one of these movies may be entertaining. Unfortunately, if Blood & Honey is anything to go by, they're all likely to be cheap schlock.

Are we sure Disney arent funding these on the sly to help build the case for extending copywrites?

And if they are, hopefully, the public will learn that it's best not to watch them.

Teaser trailer has just dropped:

I haven't seen the trailer, but I'm pretty sure SNL did it better

I've seen a few really good horror films over the last couple of years which give me hope for the genre. This "universe" of Bambi, Winnie the Pooh and whatever else they come up with . . . it just doesn't do anything for me. I'm sure these films will have their fans and I'm glad for that. But there have to be better options for blood and gore out there than this.

The Young Ones called it 40 years ago.

"I liked the bit where you shoved the drill in the virgin otter's face".

"That wasn't in "Bambi", Vyvyan!"

"It was in the sequel, Neil. 'Bambi Goes Crazy Ape Bonkers with His Drill and Set'".

"Is that true, Bambi? Did you do a Disney nasty?"

Ok the CGI deer actually looks halfway decent so far.

They probably wanted to have a second CGI fawn in this, but it was just too dear.

Ah - not so good when written...
