Couple the possible addition of McGregor with the fact that McCarthy has recently directed and produced Netflix’s angst-ridden teen drama, 13 Reasons Why, and the fact that Foster directed the huge tear-jerker, Finding Neverland, and Christopher Robin could shape up to be a movie aimed at adults rather than the younger generation who still think of Christopher Robin frolicking in the woods with Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore.
No release date or further details have been announced for Christopher Robin, but Screen Rant will keep you updated.
Christopher Robin sounds like it will be a more emotive and poignant movie than we’re used to seeing with the characters of Winnie the Pooh, and that could well suit McGregor’s acting style.
Alex Ross Perry wrote the first draft of the screenplay, with Tom McCarthy then taking over.
