Craig David Dowsett: Last News

K.J. Yossman “Shakespeare in Love” actor Simon Callow has been cast in the sequel to micro-budget slasher hit “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey.” Stage and screen star Callow, who has also appeared in “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “The Witcher” among other fare, is set to play a character called Cavendish, who is described by the filmmakers as “a pivotal character with a dark past somehow tied to Christopher Robin.” “Cavendish’s tragic life, marked with alcoholism, violence and regret, not only brings significant depth to the story, but revelation as well,” the producers tell Variety. Variety understands Callow was approached via his agents and, liking the character, agreed to sign on for the role.

whoaaa bother!In the film, Christopher Robin (Nikolai Leon) has gone to college — a la Andy in “Toy Story 3” — and returns with his girlfriend only to discover his old pals Pooh (Craig David Dowsett) and Piglet (Chris Cordell) from the 100 Acre Woods have turned feral and murderous.We witness the sweet animals kill for fun.Piglet wields an ax as he wades through an indoor swimming pool and decapitates a renter staying in a house in the forest.Pooh chloroforms a bikini-clad woman in a hot tub.There’s a grave marked “Eeyore RIP.”A sobbing Christopher later shouts at Pooh in the sadistic movie clip, “We used to be friends! Why are you doing this? I never would have left you — I swear!” His childhood, and ours, is dead.The film, which will be released later this year, created a huge online stir when demented stills were revealed in May. Now, both fans of scare and bear can see the warped project is 100% real.Besides Pooh morphing into a death machine, other aspects of “Blood and Honey” will be unfamiliar to longtime fans of the Disney films and TV series.

Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” has been released, revealing more of the slasher makeover of everyone’s favorite honey-obsessed bear.The movie stars Craig David Dowsett and Chris Cordell as Winnie and his best friend Piglet, who go on a rampage after Christopher Robin (Nikolai Leon) abandons them for college. Without the influence of their human friend, the two turn feral, seeking prey and stalking the humans near their homes. The trailer showcases the characters on their rampage, revealing more of the twisted interpretation of A.A. Milne’s beloved characters.As director Rhys Waterfield revealed in an interview with Variety, the film was shot over the course of 10 days near the Ashdown Forest in England, the inspiration for the Hundred Acre Woods as depicted in Milne’s original stories, which only entered the public domain this year. To avoid copyright issues with Disney — which owns the interpretations of the character as seen in various films and television shows — certain elements were changed, including swapping Pooh Bear’ red shirt for lumberjack gear and omitting characters like Tigger who are still under copyright.
