A. Milne&#8217;s beloved children&#8217;s stories. According to their story, the adult Christopher Robin is one &#8220;who&#8217;s lost his sense of imagination and is a businessman focused on work and success.&#8221; Presumably the film will go a route similar to Steven Spielberg&#8217;s 1991 film <strong>Hook<\/strong>, and have Christopher Robin go on a journey that culminates in him reconnecting to the magic of his childhood.<\/p>\n<p>The film is set to be directed by Marc Forster. He seems an odd choice for the project , given his more recent films have been the zombie epic <strong>World War Z<\/strong> and the James Bond franchise installment <strong>Quantum of Solace<\/strong>. But prior to those he dabbled in the realm of another British children&#8217;s literary classic with 2004&#8217;s <strong>Finding Neverland<\/strong> and dealt with modern day fantasy in the 2006 Will Ferrell comedy <strong>Stranger Than Fiction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The original screenplay is by <strong>Listen Up Philip<\/strong>&#8216;s scripter Alex Ross Perry. <strong>Spotlight<\/strong> writer Tom McCarthy did some subsequent drafts, though Disney is bringing in <strong>Hidden Figures<\/strong>&#8216;s Allison Schroeder for a new draft of the script.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">The actor will be playing the grown up version of the young boy who was friends with Winnie the Pooh.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2017\/04\/26\/ewan-mcgregor-christopher-robin\/\" title=\"Ewan McGregor Set For CHRISTOPHER ROBIN\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[9020,2185],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-40361","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-christopher-robin","8":"tag-ewan-mcgregor"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40361"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40361\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40361"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=40361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
