The big-screen picture that tells the story of the life of the Winnie-the-Pooh author is now officially underway. Domhnall Gleeson stars as the author who brought the honey-loving bear to life back in 1926 thanks to inspiration from his son Christopher Robin and the boy’s stuffed animals. Margot Robbie also stars as Milne’s wife Dorothy “Daphne” de Sélincourt, with Will Tilston starring as Christopher Robin.

Directed by Simon Curtis (My Week with Marilyn, Woman in Gold) from a script written by Frank Cottrell Boyce based on a screenplay by Simon Vaughan (A Bear Named Winnie), the film is now shooting on location in Oxfordshire, Surrey, East Sussex and London. The film also stars Kelly Macdonald, Stephen Campbell Moore, Alex Lawther, Richard McCabe, Nico Mirallegro, Geraldine Somerville and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Ahh man. I thought this would be a story about an adult Christopher Robin going back to revisit Winnie the Pooh, not a biopic.

The tears that would induce.
