In January 2025, a very special fantasy adventure awaits us on the big screen. The Paddington series follows in the footsteps of Indiana Jones with part 3.
The friendliest bear in history is finally back in cinemas with a new movie: Seven years have passed since Paddington had his last adventure in the streets of London. Now he is going to Peru with the Browns to visit his Aunt Lucy. But she has disappeared.
In their search for Aunt Lucy, Paddington and his friends become embroiled in a treasure hunt, as the new trailer for Paddington in Peru reveals. The third part of the fantasy series draws on the legend of the Golden City aka Eldorado and seems like a secret Indiana Jones movie. Get ready for a playful action adventure!
The new trailer for Paddington in Peru follows in the footsteps of Indiana Jones and Werner Herzog
Just like Indy, Paddington runs away from a gigantic stone sphere, while other action scenes are reminiscent of Steven Spielberg’s often-underappreciated Tintin movie, not to mention great adventure classics like 1951’s African Queen. But Paddington in Peru had even more role models.
Two Werner Herzog masterpieces were the inspiration for the sequel directed by Dougal Wilson: Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972) and Fitzcarraldo (1982). In both films, we follow characters through the jungle. While Aguirre is also looking for the golden city, Fitzcarraldo wants to move a ship over a mountain.
Judging from the new trailer, treasure and ships are a crucial part of Paddington in Peru, which also features loving humor and some slapstick. Paddington rolling around tied to a steering wheel – that’s already one of the funniest images of the next year at the movies.
