'Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey' becomes a murderer, confirmed for domestic release
'Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey' has confirmed its domestic release in April and is drawing attention by releasing a teaser poster. 'Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey' is the story of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, who were abandoned by their childhood friend 'Christopher Robin' and begin a bloody human hunt for revenge.
The movie 'Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey' is a scary twist on AA Milne's original fairy tale 'Winnie the Pooh' published in 1962, garnering great attention even before its release, and has emerged as the hottest blockbuster film of 2023. The mere setting that Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, abandoned in the forest, turn into serial murderers covered in blood is stimulating the audience's curiosity. 'Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey', which was released overseas including Mexico, North America, Australia, and Turkey prior to its domestic release in April, was a box office success, earning a whopping 50 times the production cost thanks to its crazy planning ability.
Thanks to this popularity, new director Rhys Frakes-Waterfield, who directed and wrote the screenplay, confirmed the production of a sequel to 'Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey' and is also preparing a plan to give a cheeky twist to the characters of 'Peter Pan' and 'Bambi'. He said he was in the process of doing so. The transformation of 'Pooh' and 'Piglet', which have been loved all over the world, is expected to surprise the audience and hit theaters with more cruel horror than anyone can imagine.
The teaser poster released along with the release confirmation draws attention as Winnie the Pooh always shows blood dripping instead of sweet honey from the honey pot that he never lets go of. Above all, the copy, “Forget the sweet past,” amplifies curiosity by arousing only an eerie fear, as the cute and affectionate images of ‘Pooh’ and ‘Piglet’ in our memories are nowhere to be seen.
‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey’ will be released domestically in April.
