Screenwriter Jimmy Warden notes: “It's not every day that a title comes your way that describes the movie in two words. You understand exactly what it is and what you want it to be.'

and the Associated Press, but largely went unremarked on. For his part, Warden wanted to fill in the blanks and answer the age-old question: What would happen if you gave an apex predator narcotics?

“I think the goal in writing the script was: Don’t disappoint the audience,” says Warden. “Don’t call the movieWarden expanded the ensemble beyond the titular bear, adding local detectives and drug kingpins to unwitting hikers and a single mother looking for her lost kids, and added imaginative killings and inventive gore. “It’s kind of the fantasy of what might have happened. What could have happened,” explains Warden.

After consulting with his wife, actress Samara Weaving, and manager, Warden decided to write the screenplay. Thusly, Warden began his research which largely consisted of “Googling bears,” he says with a laugh. “It does get pretty horrific the deeper you go in terms of bear attacks,” says the writer, who found out a particularly interesting fact: black bears, like the one at the center of his movie, aren’t very dangerous.

Warden found himself with a finished screenplay based on a kind of true story, a handful of Wikipedia entries, and a whole lot of imagination. “I just wanted to entertain myself,” Warden says. “Screw a studio— I didn’t think people would read it.” The someones that would come to read it were Phil Lord and Chris Miller The duo are known for pulling off the impossible like turning a long-forgotten ’80s TV show or jumbles of toy bricks into successful movie franchises.
