Earlier this month I had the pleasure of witting down with Paul King and Simon Farnaby to talk about their newest work, and part of our conversation was dedicated to the ideas that ultimately didn’t make it into the script.
Every sequel starts development with filmmakers throwing out a wide variety of storylines hoping for an idea to stick, and it turns out that Paddington 2 was no exception.
I specifically asked the duo if there was anything they specifically wanted to do but couldn’t, and they revealed an alternate version of Paddington 2 that would have seen him skipping the prison portion of the film, and instead go on the run.
