Listen Up Phillip’s Alex Ross Perry to write live-action Winnie The Pooh movie
Disney’s live-action remake machine, a device we like to picture as whimsically cobbled together from old potbelly stoves and sentient toasters, has spit out another movie: Deadline reports that the company’s next entry in its ambitious slate of live-action remakes will be A. A. Milne’s Winnie The Pooh. That’s not so surprising—the good-natured bear and his pals, including the hyperactive Tigger and depressive Eeyore, have been popular children’s characters for decades, with TV and movie adaptations reaching as far as the Soviet Union.
