Paddington Bear Set for New Film Following Windsor Castle Appearance
Just a few weeks following his tea with the Queen of England, it has been announced that Paddington Bear is set to star in Paddington in Peru, the third installment in his hit franchise. The film will be helmed by Dougal Wilson, making his directorial feature film debut. Wilson has previously made commercials for several brands including Apple, Ikea, and the BBC. “As a huge fan of the first two films, I am very excited (if not a little intimidated) to be continuing the story of Paddington,” said Wilson. “It’s a massive responsibility, but all my efforts will be focussed on making a third film that honours the love so many people have for this very special bear.” Filming begins in 2023 and will be shot on location in London and Peru.
