Having survived the wholesale replacement of his voice – with Ben Whishaw taking over for Colin Firth when his film’s team decided to go in a younger direction with the character – Paddington Bear is now headed for our cinemas with all due speed. To remind us of that fact, and even though this new image carries the US release date (we see the film November 28), here is the latest poster for his new cinematic outing, courtesy of Moviefone.
The furry friend with the marmalade fetish is hitting screens thanks to Bunny And The Bull director Paul King, marshalling a script he wrote via a mix of live-action and CG. The story sees Paddington come to stay with the Browns, led by Hugh Bonneville and Sally Hawkins. There, while he’s good-natured, his inquisitive inclinations lead him into trouble more than once.
And that’s not his biggest problem, either. The real challenge is the driven taxidermist, Millicent (Nicole Kidman), who feels Paddington would look best stuffed and on her wall. Speaking of which, you can get a first glimpse of her via the furred one’s Twitter feed.
I’ve been told my [#hardstare](https://twitter.com/hashtag/hardstare?src=hash) takes some beating but Nicole Kidman does a great job in my new film [pic.twitter.com/mLVXNITznu](http://t.co/mLVXNITznu) > > — Paddington (@paddingtonbear) [August 27, 2014](https://twitter.com/paddingtonbear/statuses/504601760288485376)
With Julie Walters, Madeleine Harris, Samuel Joslin and Jim Broadbent filling out the rest of the human cast, Paddington will, as mentioned, arrive in cinemas on November 28.
