He’s cute, adorable, loves marmalade – and coming to a screen near you soon.
PADDINGTON is set to be THE big family film hitting our screens in November and a new featurette called ‘From Page to Screen‘ has been released of the marmalade loving bear.
From David Heyman, the producer of HARRY POTTER and GRAVITY, PADDINGTON is set to be the must-see family film this Christmas.
In the featurette, Heyman takes the time to talk about the iconic bear along with the other cast members who star in the film.Â
PADDINGTONÂ has Ben Whishaw voicing the titular hero and also stars Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi and Nicole Kidman.
Paddington has grown up deep in the Peruvian jungle with his Aunt Lucy who, inspired by a chance encounter with an English explorer, has raised her nephew to dream of an exciting life in London. When an earthquake destroys their home, Aunt Lucy decides to smuggle her young nephew on board a boat bound for England, in search of a better life.
Â
Arriving alone at Paddington Station, Paddington soon finds that city life is not all he had imagined – until he meets the kindly Brown family, led by Bonneville and Hawkins who find him with a label tied around his neck which reads ‘Please look after this bear. Thank you.’ They offer him a temporary home whilst he searches for the explorer who impressed Aunt Lucy all those years before. Whilst he is there, the good-nature bear sees his inquisitive inclinations lead him into trouble more than once.
Â
But when Paddington catches the eye of a sinister, seductive taxidermist, Millicent (Kidman), who feels Paddington would look best stuffed and on her wall, it isn’t long before his home – and very existence – is under threat …
Â
Adapted from Michael Bond’s beloved books, Paddington follows the comic misadventures of a polite young bear with an endearing talent for comic chaos.
Our favourite bear will be making his first big screen appearance in UK cinemas from November 28th 2014.
Â
Aww, we can’t wait to see his big screen debut. Until then, we will happily wait patiently and enjoy the featurette:
