The folks behind “Cocaine Shark” are completely amused by reports of real-world sharks testing positive for cocaine, telling TMZ that it’s a case of life imitating art… and art imitating life.
Film-maker Bret McCormick says the strange information about some sharks in Brazil is good for him ‘trigger all those involved in drug contamination in the waters will probably be curious to see if his film presents any options for a possible real-life disaster.
Bad PR for sharks is good publicity for him!
Not that Bret really wants more buzz — he tells us that “Cocaine Shark” has already gotten tons of publicity because of “Cocaine Bear,” starring Ray Liotta It is Keri Russell and exploded the same year as his film.
As for the state of affairs in Brazil, scientists shouldn’t watch “Cocaine Shark” for guidance. Bret admits he has no idea how the hit affects a shark’s nervous system, despite making the film.
Hey, it’s Hollywood! However, your best guess is that it would make them more aggressive. Suffice it to say… no one really needs to find out.
As we reported… analysis groups collected 13 sharpnose sharks from fishermen in Rio de Janeiro — and after cutting them open, they found that their livers and muscles were loaded with cocaine.
No one has confirmed where the cocaine came from, but people have their theories — presumably near drug labs or from drug traffickers who lost packages at sea.
As they say, Brazilian fishermen will want (sniff sniff) bigger boats!
