ODEON Magazine Issue 100 - Sept / Oct 2017 | Page 34

Classic Moment in time Memorable moments from the ODEON archives Pawsing for thought Michael Bond poses at the Paddington premiere with his little bear... ith Paddington 2 coming soon to cinemas, we originally chose a picture of Hugh Bonneville (who reprises his role as Henry Brown in the new film) to feature as this issue’s Classic Moment in Time. But then the sad news of Paddington creator Michael Bond’s passing reached us and we decided the above image would be more fitting. Taken on 23 November 2014, it sees the celebrated English author posing outside the ODEON Leicester Square with his beloved creation. The occasion was the premiere of Paddington the movie, which roared into UK cinemas the very next week. Mr Bond, just like your bear in this picture, we tip our hats to you, sir. Paddington 2 opens in cinemas on Friday 10 November COMING NEXT ISSUE • STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI, COCO + more!
