Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! I read this last night and I just couldn't keep this to myself I was so excited to hear that Paddington was getting a sequel.
I loved the first film, it was so lovely and endearing and Ben Whishaw who voiced Paddington really in my opinion brought the character to life and it was so funny especially the things that happened because Paddington didn't know how things in the modern day really work because he was brought up by his aunt Lucy and uncle in deepest darkest Peru and they taught him to always be polite like if you want to talk to someone talk to them about the weather like "it's really raining cats and dogs isn't it" and most importantly in case of emergency always have a marmalade sandwich under your hat.
But if you haven't seen this film...then why the hell not because besides being a massive hit when it was released it really is a family feel good movie...well even if you haven't got kids this is a really good film to watch if there is a rainy afternoon, if your feeling ill and are taking the day off of work or even if there's nothing on TV and you want to watch something that's a bit different then you'll definitely be a fan of this film as there are just so many "Aw Paddington" moments such as when Paddington is teaching Mr and Mrs. Brown's daughter how to speak bear...or when Paddington helps the police to catch a pick pocketer or because Paddington has never been anywhere outside of deepest darkest Peru he doesn't understand what the toothbrushes are when the Brown family first take him in so he uses them as ear cleaners, floods the toilet and ends up trying to cling on to the top of the old fashioned toilet but that falls off the wall and he lands in the bath with the water building up all around him and he ends up in the tub with it falling all the way down the spiral staircase and water going everywhere in the house...and the Brown children try to dry him off using a hairdryer and his fur goes really static and fuzzy.
And like in the first film the storyline is so "Aw Paddington" because in that film there is an earthquake in Peru where Paddington's family live and sadly his uncle gets killed and Paddington's aunt Lucy has no choice but to pack up Paddington's belongings-which is lots and lots of jars of Marmalade- and put a sign over his head saying "Please look after this bear" and send him on to London, but when he gets there no one wants to talk to him or help him until on the last train into Paddington station the Brown family find him and take him in and help him to find the geographer who documented a trip to Peru because he thinks he might be able to help him, but instead he finds he died and his daughter has been looking for Paddington ever since looking for revenge as she wants to stuff him and put him in the British Museum.
But this time according to Deadline Hollywood's website Paddington is at this point a popular member of the community of Windsor Gardens and he's settled in to his home here, but whilst going in search for the perfect present for his beloved Aunt Lucy's 100th birthday which he finds in Mr. Gruber's antique's shop, he has to embark on another adventure with the Brown family in tow to get back this unique pop-up book once it get's stolen.
According to Deadline Hollywood's website Ben Whishaw will be returning for this sequel to reprise his role as the voice of Paddington, Imelda Staunton will also be returning to reprise her role as the voice of Aunt Lucy, Hugh Bonneville will return to reprise his role as Mr. Brown, Sally Hawkins will be reprising her role as Mrs. Brown, Madeleine Harris will reprise her role as Judy Brown as well as Samuel Joslin will be back to reprise his role as Jonathan Brown, Peter Capaldi will also be returning to reprise his role as Mr.Curry the next door neighbour, Julie Walters will return to reprise her role as Mrs. Bird the Brown's cleaner and Jim Broadbent will be returning to reprise his role as Mr.Gruber the antique shop owner...along with some new faces appearing in this sequel from the likes of Hugh Grant who also according to Deadline Hollywood's website will be playing the role of Windsor Garden's resident vain, charming acting legend whose star has fallen in recent years Pheonix Buchanan, and Brenden Gleeson who will be playing the character Knuckles McGinty a notorious safe-cracker and legendary strong man who becomes an unlikely ally to Paddington.
Also according to Deadline Hollywood Paul King will direct from a script that he co-wrote with Simon Farnaby and this sequel will be produced by David Heyman who has previously produced "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them".
