The violent comedy —based on a true storyabout a bear that accidentally ingested cocaine — also stars Keri Russell, Alden Ehrenreich, Margo Martindale, O’Shea Jackson Jr. and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

“A lot of cocaine was lost. I need you to go get it,” Liotta’s character says in the trailer, which shows the titular wild animal going on a murderous rampage.

Back in May, Banks, 48, remembered Liotta in anInstagram tribute, saying they shared a “special bond.”

“We met on a little film,The Detailsand he blew me away. I always admired his acting but I genuinely enjoyed him as a human,” said Banks. “He was a charmer. We have been collaborating onCocaine Bearthese past few months. I just saw him, hugged him, heard about his summer travel plans. When any actor of Ray’s caliber puts trust in you as a director, it’s a gift. But Ray gave me so much more.”
