Disney's Christopher Robin
 
Quote:

Marc Forster will direct “Christopher Robin,” the live-action adaptation of Disney’s classic cartoon “Winnie the Pooh.”

Alex Ross Perry is set to write the script.

The film will follow Christopher Robin, the little boy who befriends a lovable bear in the celebrated A.A. Milne books, as an adult. According to sources, the film will share similarities with Seth MacFarlane’s fantasy-buddy film “Ted,” but center more on family fun than vulgarities.

The character of Winnie the Pooh was created by Milne for a collection of stories in the books “Winnie-the-Pooh” (1926) and “The House at Pooh Corner” (1928). Disney licensed the rights to the bear in 1961, leading to TV shows and four feature films: “The Tigger Movie,” “Piglet’s Big Movie,” “Pooh’s Heffalump Movie,” and “Winnie the Pooh.”

Kristin Burr will oversee the project for the studio.

The film falls in line with Disney’s slate of live-action adaptations that include next year’s “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin” — which Guy Ritchie recently came on to direct — “Snow White,” “Lion King” — helmed by “The Jungle Book” director Jon Favreau — and “Mulan.”

Another Christopher Robin project, “Goodbye Christopher Robin,” is also in the works at Fox Searchlight starring Margot Robbie and Domhnall Gleeson.

Forster — repped by WME — most recently directed “All I See Is You,” which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, and stars Blake Lively and Jason Clarke.

This could be the cutest Disney movie ever as long as Pooh and the gang look like plush toys.

I didn't see that. In fact, I hardly saw any of the 2015 films that were nominated at the 88th Academy Awards. The subject matter of most of them were too depressing and serious. I very much enjoyed his screen-writing work for Up though.

AT-Man 03-04-2017 02:59 PM

This will be a total tearjerker and the first Disney live action remake I'm interested to see.

saintsaucey 03-04-2017 04:39 PM

Just the original characters pleaee. No heffalump. When I was a kid it was

Winnie, Piglet, Rabbit, Eeyore, Owl, Tigger, Kanga and Roo

So.... is this gonna be a story about some poor mental patient in a padded room swearing his stuffed animals can talk, and every time he dreams or is put under, we see a little episode of Pooh and the gang as we try to unravel his insanity?

That would make for a very messed up kids movie. :o

baseball needs to be involved

ZariusTwo 04-27-2017 05:58 AM

Disney get the services of Ewan McGregor, and it's for a film other than Star Wars?

I guess you're referring to Heff Heffalump from the TNA show or Lumpy from the 2005 movie, cause Heffalumps dates back to the first collection of stories in mid 20's

ranger_scout 08-02-2017 11:22 PM

Hayley Atwell will be playing the wife of Christopher in the film.

Tudyk isn't official. He's interested in voicing the character.

Wildcat 08-17-2017 11:24 PM

If this movie is not basically this I will be very disappointed. This is so perfect.


ranger_scout 09-12-2017 06:19 PM

Nick Mohammed is going to voice Piglet.

Plus, the film is scheduled for release on August 3, 2018.

Oh, that's going to be an absolute joy to to ears. Especially when offset with the classic Pooh voice.

ZariusTwo 01-25-2018 11:29 AM

Ok, I feel particularly weirded out by this...several years ago I made this:teek:

Looks like he'll be doing a live-action adaptation of a Disney cartoon after all. He was originally going to be playing the titular's character uncle in Maleficent, but his part along with Miranda Richardson's, were both cut after the film went through massive re-shoots.

drgon78 01-25-2018 10:11 PM

I hope this one will be good.

NinjaPug 03-05-2018 12:00 PM

Teaser trailer tomorrow.

The teaser at the top of the poster makes it sound like Pooh's out to kill him

Sumac 03-05-2018 01:11 PM

This poster certainly looks rather ominous. :lol:

Like, it's the last thing I've expected from Winnie The Pooh stuff.

Shark_Blade 03-05-2018 04:02 PM

Another cliche I guess?

Is this about Christopher Robin growing old and Winnie the Pooh came to see him wondering why he's growing feeble walking with a stick, his face full of wrinkles and grey hair?

Sumac 03-05-2018 04:34 PM

Horror movie.
Winnie goes on the killing spree after learning that Robin is dead.

Or spy drama about intelligent toys.

Shark_Blade 03-05-2018 05:11 PM

I'm all for Pooh on killing spree.

When Disney finally does horror movies:lol:But seriously I can't wait to see the trailer.

Disney really got the casting of the titular character right. I really can't see anyone better than McGregor in the role. It felt so wonderful to hear Jim Cummings do that iconic voice. He really does the capture the spirit that Sterling Holloway brought to the character. I simply don't understand why Cummings hasn't been named a Disney Legend yet. He's worked for the company for about 30 years and brought joy to so many adults and children with his numerous voices.

Utrommaniac 03-06-2018 11:50 AM

He was...surprisingly accepting of Christopher Robin's age. But it was sweet at least?

Completely agree with everything you said about Cummings. I'm so glad Disney brought him back and didn't go for a big name actor because they thought it would sell more tickets.

drgon78 03-06-2018 01:34 PM

Jim Cummings is awesome and does so well in sounding like Pooh's original voice actor.

ZariusTwo 03-06-2018 03:33 PM


Shark_Blade 03-06-2018 03:52 PM

Geez it really is about old, wrinkly and dying Christopher Robin...

Raph's Girl 03-06-2018 04:39 PM

Christopher's daughter looks surprisingly healthy. In reality she suffered from cerebral palsey... :ohwell:

AT-Man 03-06-2018 04:57 PM

That teaser totally made me tear up.

Sumac 03-06-2018 05:04 PM

Will old Robin be killed by Winnie for maximum edge?
