‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey’ director intends to produce dark films of other characters

Rhys Frake-Waterfield, director of “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey”,wants to adapt other children’s stories and characters for his dark films, in an interview with the portal Omelet,Some suggestions were made for popular characters in Brazil, which pleased the director and screenwriter.

asked about the “Crazy boy”, character created by Ziraldo, the director compared it to a “flasher” – an English term used for criminals who expose their nudity in public: “Look at his gigantic coat! I can imagine him scaring people on the street by opening that coat and being naked underneath. But maybe he should be a little older to do that,” said Frake-Waterfield.

Then characters from the “Sítio do Pica-Pau Amarelo”,like Emilia and Cuca: “With Emília, I imagine doing something in the Chucky vibe… But maybe the doll belonged to a girl who died. Her parents were devastated and, in the madness of their grief, placed their daughter’s body inside the doll, which in turn made the doll come to life. […] Cuca is cool, I like her look! She fits into the category of half-human, half-animal creatures,” he says, making a parallel with his Pooh. “Not to mention the story could be set in the sewer, which I think is an amazing setting for any horror movie. Perhaps it can attack people through the toilets and drains of their homes.”

Finally, they made a challenge to the director, how to transform the presenter Ana Maria Braga and Louro José in a horror story, Rhys thought that Ana Maria was a ventriloquist Louro Jose:“Wow, I love ventriloquist stories in horror movies […], but anyway, we could imagine a scary scenario where it’s actually the doll controlling her, not the other way around.” finished.
