Prepare for a journey into Hundred Acre Wood as you\u2019ve never seen it before.<\/p>\n

When Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey\u00a0\u2013 a\u00a0horror movie about A A Milne\u2019s teddy bear embarking on a twisted rampage\u00a0\u2013 was first announced back in May 2022, it was met with disbelief.<\/p>\n

Now, a trailer has landed, making clear that the innocent childhood icon\u2019s first foray into slasher movies\u00a0is even darker than expected.<\/p>\n

\n

Directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield and starring Maria Taylor, Amber Doig-Thorne and Danielle Scott,\u00a0Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey follows Piglet and Pooh as they embark on a twisted rampage after being abandoned by their friend, Christopher Robin.<\/p>\n

While A A Milne\u2019s\u00a0original Winnie-the Pooh\u00a0stories entered the public domain in January 2022, Disney retains exclusive use of their interpretations of the teddy bear and his friends, meaning Waterfield had to change certain elements such as cladding Piglet in black and donning Pooh Bear in a lumberjack suit in the movie.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve tried to be extremely careful,\u201d Waterfield told Variety<\/a>. \u201cWe knew there was this line between that, and we knew what their copyright was and what they\u2019ve done. So we did as much as we could to make sure [the film] was only based on the 1926 version of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another challenge Waterfield faced was balancing the line between horror and comedy. \u201cWhen you try and do a film like this, and it\u2019s a really wacky concept, it\u2019s very easy to go down a route where nothing is scary and it\u2019s just really ridiculous and really, like, stupid,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd we wanted to go between the two.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, when can you see the chaotic new horror movie? Read on for everything you need to know about Pooh Bear\u2019s foray into slasher films.<\/p>\n

An official release date is yet to be announced, but the wait shouldn\u2019t be too<\/em> long, given that filming wrapped back in May 2022 and that, at the time, Waterfield expressed his desire to speed up post production processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of all the press and stuff, we\u2019re just going to start expediting the edit and getting it through post production as fast as we can,\u201d he told Variety. \u201cBut also, making sure it\u2019s still good. It\u2019s gonna be a high priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waterfield also disclosed to the publication that the film was shot in 10 days in England, near Ashdown Forest, which was the inspiration for Milne\u2019s imaginary Hundred Acre Wood in the original Winnie the Pooh stories.<\/p>\n
