Currently filming in London, the live-action film Paddington “inspired by” the classic children’s book series, which began with the 1958 A Bear Called Paddington by Michael Bond (50th anniversary edition published here by HMH in 2008), has been announced for release on Dec. 12 next year.

The computer-generated Paddington is voiced by Colin Firth. Featured in live roles are Nicole Kidman, Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi, and Julie Walters. Directed by Paul Smith, it is being produced by David Heyman, who also produced Gravity and Harry Potter.
