‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey’ Director Brushes Off Razzie Awards Sweep: ‘I’m Surprised Our Micro-Budget Film Is Being Compared to Hollywood’
'Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey' director Rhys Frake-Waterfield responds to the film dominated the Razzie Awards.
The Razzies generally take aim at the expensive flops and fails of studios and A-list stars, but — as Frake-Waterfield notes — in focusing its attention on “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey,” it has singled out a movie made for under $50,000, considerably less than the average catering budget of its fellow nominees. In the worst director category, Frake-Waterfield — for whom “Blood and Honey” marks his first theatrically-released feature — was joined by David Gordon Green, Peyton Reed, Scott Waugh and Ben Wheatley, all established filmmakers with significantly more experience. Coincidentally, the Razzies were announced the weekend before the world premiere of “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2,” taking place on Monday in London’s Prince Charles Cinema.
