Looks like another beloved character from popular childrens’ novels will be appearing on the big screen. According to Moviehole.net, Paddington Bear’s adventures will finally be depicted on film.
Moviehole gives us this:
Hamish McColl (“Mr. Bean’s Holiday”) is writing the screenplay for a live-action movie based on Michael Bond’s series of books for young children about a talking bear who’s adopted by a London family when they find him lost at Paddington Station, says Variety. The film is likely to be in the vein of “Stuart Little” – with Paddington as a CGI character.
Now I don’t see what the big deal is, but that’s because I never read the Paddington Bear books as a kid. ( I was more of a “Berenstein Bears” kind of kid) But, last night I had a few of friends over and they were surprisingly excited for this news of a live action film on the beloved bear from London. Since Stuart Little did so well, I don’t see this film not making any money. It seems like a good idea to me. So how many of you guys were Paddington Bear fans as a kid?
