Winnie The Pooh is looking straight demonic in this new movie poster

The new Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey movie just dropped some new artwork and Winnie looks like he’s ready to f**k people up.

Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey has just dropped some new artwork for the movie, featuring Pooh holding a blood-soaked mallet with some kind of blood-splattered garb adorned on him. The poster is a bit frightening when you contrast it to the normative image of Winnie The Pooh that so many of us have etched into our brains.

Blood and Honey will be helmed by director Rhys Frake-Waterfield, who is known for films such as Dragon Fury and Dinosaur Hotel.

Rhys also talked to Dread Central back in June of this year about some of the things we can expect from the film.

Dread Central: Are Pooh and Piglet humans or animals in your film?

Rhys Frake-Waterfield: It’s definitely Pooh and Piglet. It’s not just two people in a mask. The story is meant to be that they’ve gone on this onslaught from being enraged by what’s happened to Christopher.

DC: What happened to these guys?

RFW: Pooh and Piglet experience a drastic drop in food as Christopher grew up. Over the years they became increasingly hungry and feral. They had to resort to eating Eeyore. Then Christopher returns with his wife to introduce her to his old friends. And when that happens, they get enraged when they see them. All of the hatred they’ve built up over the years unleashes and then they go on this rampage. That continues when they end up at this rural house with these girls.

DC: Can you give us a sense of when this film is going to come out?

RFW: I’m going to expedite as much as I can to get it finished ASAP. And then once that’s finished, that’s when we can get the trailer moving. I think we’ll get that done super, super fast as well. I’m getting emails from territories saying, ‘Let us have it. We are really interested in distributing it in.’ I don’t know if Netflix would be interested, but that would be really, really cool to get an exclusive release there. So things like that are options.
