^Yeah, they focus more on spectacle. And the 3rd one was so different from the book it was based on.

So, I see Escape from New York isn't too far from the mark then! To be fair, I doubt they'd do that to Paddington, as it's supposed to be a set of family friendly movies after-all. But seeing that same director attached to it is amusing.

Paddington joins Whitehall and his innocence becomes popular for not being jaded and always cussing like his fellow politicians. Also expect a big role from Peter Capaldi as Mr. Curry.

I dunno, would be fun to perhaps see him join MI5. "For Marmalade and Country!" You can just hear it now, "The Spy Who Loved Marmalade". And Goldfinger has nothing on "Sticky Fingers!" And given that he already had tea and Marmalade with the Queen, it becomes perflectly plausible for King Charles to personally give him his mission.
