With the surprise critical and financial success of the live-action/CG
Paddington adaptation, StudioCanal is setting its sights on a sequel, which, according to
Deadline, will have
Paul King returning to direct and co-write. King will be developing the story with
Simon Farnaby, and
David Heyman will be producing.
Although I have yet to see the first entry (I definitely be before year’s end), I’m not one bit surprised to see a sequel in the works. Paddington was much better received than any of those ridiculous Chipmunk movies and look at how many of those were made. Road Chip? Come on.
