| | |  David Heyman to produce Paddington Bear film
Michael Bond's classic story of Paddington Bear is to be brought to life by the man who produced our Potter films - David Heyman. Quote:
Originally Posted by David Heyman "I love Paddington's unique take on life," he said. "He is a great comic creation." Hamish McColl, writer of Mr Bean's Holiday, will pen the script. Quote:
"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."
Quote:
Warner Bros president of production Jeff Robinov said: "We're eager to collaborate once again with David... on this ageless classic."
Good luck, David! | |

I hate that Hollywood keeps messing with my childhood. Gah. Is it so hard to do an original feature film?

OMG I remember Paddington Bear! He wore a yellow raincoat!
That's crazy!
I don't think I've ever really had any idea what was going on, but it was my favorite show.

Hmm. I love Paddington Bear, but I don't think I trust Heyman not to mess it up.

Is this why Paddington Bear's now eating marmite instead of marmalade..?? I'm glad David's doing another film, but why change a classic. | |

Anywho, if Heyman is directing it then I don't think that the fans would be too disappointed  I know I've never been with his work.

No, that's just a new, bizarre (and wrong, imo) advertising deal. I mean...everyone knows Paddington Bear loves Marmelade!

Paddington bear is back?
MY CHILDHOOD IS COMING BACK TO HAUNT ME!
I never liked the show, never back then and definitely not now. They'd be more successful with a Paddington Bear movie when he used to be on T.V...
But I bet they'll do good with this. I can't wait to see it's reviews (no way I'm seeing a movie about that show... I never got it and I never liked it...)

He's a wonderful producer. Brilliant. Perfect. It's great to hear that he's trying something else, something new...
