The first teaser trailer has been released for Paddington, a movie starring Michael Bond's popular fictional bear, who has been featured in more than 20 children's books. Indiewire reported that even though the movie "may boast the names of Nicole Kidman, Sally Hawkins, Hugh Bonneville and Peter Capaldi, all of them play second fiddle to center of Paddington--the bear himself." Producer David Heyman (Harry Potter) and director Paul King (Bunny and the Bull, The Mighty Boosh) "are behind the feature film incarnation of the little brown bear."
