Elizabeth Banks on Working with Late Ray Liotta on 'Cocaine Bear'

"He never saw the final movie, but he did see all of his scenes," Banks shared. "And he saw the bear, which is the most important thing, because the poor guy like everyone had to act with, you know, a guy in a black suit and a stuntman and just sort of hope that it looks cool."

"He came in for ADR eight days before he passed away, actually, and he loved it. He was so happy. He was laughing," Banks recalled warmly. "It was just delightful." Meanwhile, an eclectic group of locals, tourists and drug-smuggling criminals must team up to try to survive as the body count rises quickly.

"There's so much going on besides the bear," she shared. "And I hope that's what people take away from it -- that they find someone sort of relatable in the movie. I just fell in love with all the characters, truly."
