A new Masters of the Universe movie is becoming something of a Holy Grail to fans of the franchise. What seems to be a relatively simply cast of translating the 80s cartoon into a live-action iteration is proving to be one of the most delayed projects in history, having been in development hell in various forms since at least 2004.

Cocaine Bear looks to be one of the most exciting films in recent memory, to say the least. The project, helmed by Elizabeth Banks, shows what would happen if an American black bear accidentally ingested a ton of cocaine and went on a violence-filled rampage.
