With the success of Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, it's hard not to get excited about what the team behind the killer family features has up their sleeve next, and they've already got another project in the works. This time we're stepping away from the woods and into the meadow, and if you don't know by now, Bambi is finally getting some revenge.
From ITN Studios and Jagged Edge Productions, Bambi: The Reckoning is set to be directed by Scott Jeffrey with Frake-Waterfield producing the dark retelling of the classic tale. Finding inspiration from the design used in Netflix’s The Ritual, Bambi will be a vicious killing machine that lurks in the wilderness.
I was fortunate enough to discuss the film with a handful of the cast. I was especially excited to talk to Chrissie Wunna because not only is he involved in this production, but she also made an appearance in the instant holiday classic, Nutcracker Massacre.
Plot details are being kept under wraps. Given the title, it’s probably safe to assume that Bambi: The Reckoning will be a revenge story about Bambi hunting the murderer of his mother. Time to prepare for Bambi on rabies!
