The makers of Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey 1 & 2 have announced a massive crossover slasher film featuring AA Milne’s beloved characters on a bloody rampage.

Frake-Waterfield said in a statement THR: ‘It will be complete carnage. We are heavily influenced by Freddy Vs Jason and The Avengers. We’d love to see a horror movie where the bad guys band together and go after their survivors.

Jagged Edge producer Scott Chambers, who will return to play Christopher Robin in the film, added: “When you see the standalone films, you’ll see the Easter eggs hinting at the crossover.

“Some of the villains won’t agree either, allowing for carnage within the group in an epic monster-on-monster sequence.”

The film’s cast will include Megan Plactio as Wendy Darling, Roxanne Mckee as Xana, and Lewis Santer as Tigger.

2023’s Blood and Honey showed Winnie the Pooh and Piglet going on a murderous rampage after being abandoned by their friend Christopher Robin, a college student.

Twitter struggled to contain itself after the trailer was released, with one user claiming that the slasher film was about to “ruin my childhood” and that the film was a box office success, grossing 5. $2 million against a budget of $100,000.

The sequel is scheduled for release on March 26.

AA Milne’s original Winnie the Pooh stories entered the public domain in 2023 after being copyrighted, but precautions were taken to avoid any problems with Disney, who still owns the copyright on his own version of the bear, as well as on all films and images. associated with them, according to Variety.

To achieve this, the filmmakers swapped the red shirt that Pooh wears in the Disney films for a lumberjack outfit. They also did not include various characters still under copyright, such as Tigger.

“Christopher Robin being away from them, and he’s not giving them food, that’s made Pooh and Piglet’s life quite difficult,” Waterfield told Variety of the film’s plot.

“Because they had to fend for themselves, they basically became feral,” he said. “So they returned to their animal roots. They are no longer tame: they are like a vicious bear and pig who want to wander around and try to find prey.
