'Paddington Bear' to be made into movie
Published Friday, Sep 14 2007, 14:37 BST | By Kimberley Dadds
Paddington Bear is going to be turned into a movie with the help of Harry Potter producer David Heyman.
The popular children's TV show follows the life of a talking bear that originated from Peru but was adopted by a family in London.
Mr Bean's Holiday screenwriter Hamish McColl will adapt the books by Michael Bond and remake it for the big screen.
Heyman said: "Paddington Bear is a universally-loved character.
"Michael Bond's Paddington books have such wit, wonder and charm. Essentially, Paddington's story is that of an immigrant arriving in London and trying to find a home and a family."
