PADDINGTON Makes A Big Splash In New Trailer

The hilarious new trailer for PADDINGTON has arrived. (along with some pretty hilarious mock-horror memes that have gone viral.)

PADDINGTON is adapted from Michael Bond’s books for children, which have been published in 40 languages and sold 35 million copies. The story is about a young bear from Peru who longs to visit England and decides to travel to London. He reaches the huge Paddington Station and realises he is lost and alone in a big city that was barely what he had expected, but a sympathetic family adopts him and he finds the peaceful haven he had dreamt about – until a taxidermist sets her sights on him.

The first ever live action film inspired by Bond’s best-selling books, stars BAFTA Award- nominee Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey, Iris, Notting hill) as Mr Brown, Academy Award-winner Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, A Single Man, Bridget Jones’s Diary) as the voice of Paddington Bear and Academy Award-winner Nicole Kidman (The Hours, Rabbit Hole, Moulin Rouge) as the evil taxidermist determined to wreak her revenge.

Actor, director, Comédie Française member and recent César award winner Guillaume Gallienne will be lending his voice to the popular bear in a duffle-coat in the French version of PADDINGTON.

The cast includes Golden Globe Award-winner Sally Hawkins (Happy Go Lucky, Layer Cake, Made in Dagenham) as Mrs Brown, Academy Award- nominee Julie Walters (Billy Elliot, Educating Rita, Harry Potter) as Mrs Bird the housekeeper and Academy award winner Jim Broadbent (Iris, Harry Potter, the Iron Lady) as Mr Gruber the owner of the antiques shop.

Directed by Paul King, PADDINGTON is produced by David Heyman (the HARRY POTTER saga, GRAVITY…), and the special effects come from Framestore (Oscar-winning team behind GRAVITY and HARRY POTTER).

From the Weinstein Company, the adventure begins in the UK November 28th, stateside December 12, 2014.
