"Michael Bond's Paddington books have such wit, wonder and charm," said Heyman, who will make the film for Harry Potter studio Warner Bros.
"Essentially Paddington's story is that of an immigrant (bear) arriving in London and trying to find a home and a family."

Warner Bros president of production Jeff Robinov said: "We're eager to collaborate once again with David... on this ageless classic."
Good luck, David!
