Read this: Inside Grizzly II, starring Laura Dern, George Clooney, Charlie Sheen, and a killer bear

At long last, 1983's Grizzly II, a movie about an oversized killer bear that terrorizes a young George Clooney, Laura Dern, and Charlie Sheen as they try to enjoy a music festival, is going to be released after sitting unfinished for decades. To commemorate its long, bizarre road to completion, The Ringer has put out an article recounting how the movie went from a presumably surefire hit sequel to a production so troubled it’s taken more than 30 years to conclude.
Grizzly II is the sequel to 1976's Grizzly, a box office hit made to cash in on Jaws’ recent success by trading out shark-induced carnage for an 18-foot tall bloodthirsty bear. Its sequel follows an equally pissed-off bear who eats a whole lot of people in the area surrounding a huge outdoor concert after her cubs’ deaths at the hands of evil poachers. It was produced in partnership with Suzanne Nagy, who worked to “[represent] the Hungarian film industry” in America and ended up shooting on “a vast Soviet military base” outside of Budapest watched over by tanks and secret police.
