We have had some exciting reveals via London set photos: David McKenna as Digory, Beatrice Campbell as Polly, and what appears to be our first glimpse of Queen Jadis. Additionally, a large mural of a lion is offering fans some hope. Listen to our reaction and post a comment below!
Watch the post-show chatter.
Jadis looks like a gogo dancer in futuristic Tarantino film, and not in a bad way honestly. It wasn’t what I expected, but it’s clearly a take, an original one from Jacqueline Durran who is capable of giving the most incredible gowns of the century ie Atonement green dress( the most iconic dress of the 21st century) so I’m intrigued at the choice. I think that costume may highlight a lighter tone in line with Paddington than the more austere and mature works of Anna Karenina and Marie Antoinette. Kinda here for it !?!
I think it’s fine to be shocked but look at the immaculate costume design on the background actors in the same shots or in Little women(I am aware there are no bonnets and Emma Watsons wedding gown is questionable) or even in Barbie( whether u like the film or not) , I don’t think the 2 time Oscar winning costume designer who recently did Blitz a film set in 1940s Britain with beautiful costumes for Saoirse Ronan especially her red suit would suddenly become senile.
