Users Threatened Director Who Played Evil ‘Good Man’ Winnie The Pooh With Death Threats

According to the Associated Press. Pooh, Piglet, Kanga, Owl, Eeyore and Christopher Robin entered the public domain on January 1 last year when copyright expired on the 1926 book by A. Milne “Winnie the Pooh” with illustrations by Shepard. Barely a year later, Pooh and Piglet can now be seen in a bloody rampage in theaters across America: a dizzying event that happened faster than a cheerful bear could say, “Oh , Go on.” In other words, after the copyright on the book expires, different “authors” can “interpret” the character and behavior of the characters beloved by children in their own way.Even though Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey costs less than $100,000, it will hit roughly 1,500 screens in North America on Friday, an unusually high draw for a film with so little funding. He has already won a million dollars in Mexico and received contracts to show in different countries. It seems that for Waterfield, the British film producer, director of this “creation”, who released films with an eloquent name – “Dinosaur Hotel” and “Murder for Easter”, the horror success about Winnie the Pooh has already exceeded all expectations.It’s not currently airing in America, but has moved to Amsterdam, fearing revenge from thousands of users who left angry comments on the film’s trailer. Several people threatened him with violence and even death, and one wrote that he had filed a police report with a request to open a criminal case against Waterfield. But even these threats do not stop the “innovator”, who decided to exploit the beloved characters of children in the future. “When Superman and Batman go public (copyright expires), I’m sure some wild movies will be made,” said Reese Waterfield, writer, director and co-producer of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. cool interpretations. I could make one.Recall that a lively controversy in France was caused by the version of the “Three Musketeers” by British film producers, in which D”Artagnan became an African-American. Then comes the mythical Othello, in which the Moor will become white , and the unhappy and oppressed Desdemona will become dark.
