Dermot & Dave

As a country known for having no bears, Ireland surely seems like the most logical place to make a film about a bear. We think. Cocaine Bear is a brand new film, set in America but filmed mostly in Ireland, which tells the story of a bear on a drugs binge. Star of 'The Hunger Games' and 'Pitch Perfect', Elizabeth Banks, took the real story of a bear and cocaine and has turned it into a this incredible dark comedy. She joined Dermot and Dave to chat Ireland, how to direct a film with a furry main character and why she took inspiration from Jaws.
