Live action Paddington Bear film

*Raph's Girl* · 09-19-2013, 07:58 PM

Colin Firth has been cast to voice Paddington Bear in a hybrid film. Nicole Kidman will be the film's villain with Downton Abbey actor Hugh Bonneville and Sally Hawkins as the Browns (the people Paddington lives with).

Loved the original series with the stop-motion puppet and cardboard cut-outs, but hated the animated one they did in the 90s.

I forgot this was a thing until now, then I remembered seeing it as a kid.

These Hollywood remakes are getting more and more obscure. And yet, no whispers of "Bravestarr." Interesting.

Awww, I used to love Paddington Bear. I remember reading the books and seeing the animated show with my mom. We might go see this then.

And, yes, I think a Bravestarr movie would be the sh*t.

Yeah seems interesting they're doing a Paddington Bear film. I only thought it was big in the UK.

All the great stories have already been told. Originality these days comes from finding new ways of telling them.

That's not true. People are just too lazy nowadays...the only real original movies anymore are the ones that Disney makes...

Like I Said, New ways of telling familiar stories. People made cartoons about Bugs or Inanimate objects long before Disney did, but Pixar's films work because they're well written, acted and animated.

Disney is anything but "original".

I remember reading some of the books and watching the show but I was really young so I dont remember the actual stories.

Nothing wrong with making movies about pre-existing franchises. Id prefer a live-action Berenstain Bears. Ive always been a big fan of them.

Its not there are no more original ideas its just easier to use popular franchises. It is cool to see live-action characters afterall, even if some of the movies arnt great.

It just takes more effort to come up with original ideas.
