Michael Bond's polite bear from Peru will have to dust off his duffle coat as his live action/CGI debut, directed by Paul King, gets the go-ahead.
From a piece in the Guardian...
The story will be based on an original screenplay inspired by the various characters and episodes in Paddington's life as told through Bond's books. More than 35m of these have been sold worldwide, translated into more than 40 languages since the character debuted in 1958.
"Paddington Bear is a universally loved character, treasured for his optimism, his sense of fair play, and his perfect manners – and, of course, for his unintentional talent for comic chaos," said Heyman.
