You may or may not already know but there has been talk ever since the first "Paddington" film that the bear from deepest darkest Peru will be getting a sequel...well why the hell not the first one was so good and it seemed to be bagging all the awards at the BAFTA'a at the time as well.
Well I have just seen on IMDb.com the trailer for "Paddington 2" is now finally here.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4468740/?ref_=nv_sr_1
If you haven't seen the first "Paddington" then I urge you to watch it as its so lovely to watch on a rainy day or when your not feeling very well and all you want to do is have a duvet day.
If you haven't seen "Paddington" and have no idea what the hell I'm talking about then I'll fill you in...Paddington lives with his aunt Lucy and Uncle Posquso (I'm not sure on the spelling so don't kill me if it's wrong) in deepest darkest Peru and they love making marmalade and Paddington's Uncle always has underneath his hat a marmalade sandwich in case of emergencies, there's an earthquake and on the way to the shelter Paddington's uncle dies and so his aunt sends him to London with a note around his head saying "If Lost Please Look After This Bear" where he ends up at Paddington station and meets the Brown family, they take him in and go about finding the explorer who went to Peru years before and told his aunt and uncle that they'd always have a home in London, but here he finds that the explorer died, the expedition was struck from the records of the Geographer's Guild In London and his now grown up daughter who is head of the National History Museum but has been secretly trapping already exotic species of animals and stuffing them wants to do the same to Paddington as her father was ridiculed and never received any notoriety as he would never bring a living specimen of the bears back from Peru so she sees it as revenge.
But according to IMDb.com's website Paddington's back and will be again voiced by Ben Whishaw who you may or may not recognise from the recent Bond films as he played the character Q, and settling in to life with the Brown family with Hugh Bonnerville returning to play the character Mr. Brown and Sally Hawkins also returning to play the character Mrs. Brown, and tries to buy the perfect birthday present for his aunt Lucy who will again be voiced by Imelda Staunton who you may or may not recognise from "Harry Potter And The Order Of The Pheonix" as she played the character of Dolores Umbridge and therefore takes on a series of odd jobs in the local community so as to pay for this perfect present but it then gets stolen.
And the person who would do this dastardly deed looks to be none other than Hugh Grant
Julie Walters who you may or may not recognise from the first "Paddington" will be back to reprise her role of "Mrs. Bird" and Jim Broadbent will also return to reprise his role of "Mr.Gruber",-who if you haven't seen the first film he was the owner of the antiques shop that helped Paddington identify who the hat he had originally belonged to-, also according to IMDb.com it looks like Peter Capaldi will be back in this sequel to reprise his role of "Mr.Curry"may who you may or may not recognise from the first "Paddington" as the neighbour next door to the Brown family that helps Nicole Kidman kidnap Paddington and then phones the Brown family putting on a silly voice to tell them that he's at the Natural History Museum.
Also new to this film is Brendan Gleeson who according to IMDb.com will play the character "Knuckles McGinty".
Paul King has written and directed this sequel along with Michael Bond writing this (who also originally created the character "Paddington Bear"), Jon Croker who wrote additional material for this as well as Simon Farnaby also wrote this sequel.
And according to IMDb.com this will be released in UK cinemas on November 10th and if you want to see the date for other countries that this will be released in go to the "Paddington 2" IMDb.com page and where it says the UK release date click on it and you will see the other release dates for other countries.
