First the hobbits, then Narnia and Tintin, now Toad, Badger, Rat and Mole are to be brought to life by Weta Workshop of ‘Wellywood’ in a big-screen adaptation of The Wind in the Willows.
Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame is the next film in the line of best loved classic fiction being created for the big screen. Willows was first published in 1908. Others include Tintin and Lord of the Rings.
Filming will begin in New Zealand at the end of this year.
The Wind in the Willows is another prospective blockbuster for the Weta Workshop team which now holds a raft of major awards . It centers on the story of four furry friends – Toad, Badger, Rat and Mole, and their adventurous journey towards learning the true value of friendship. In the script, written by Bill Marsilli, the friends band together to save their land from a sinister plot to destroy an uneasy truce between the peaceful animals of the Willows and what remains of Mankind.

I have a faint recollection of reading this is my childhood, cant really say.
But the story line seems to be avatar on earth ?
Its a classic
I’m not sure how I feel about Hollywood hijacking all of my favorite childhood stories! This is a disturbing trend for sure!
Thanks for the post!!
Other than it is Wellington, not Hollywood… and in the safe hands of Sir Peter Jackson and Sir Richard Taylor….
Good story when I read it1 I am looking forward to seeing it on screen.

The guys at Weta must be so creative and obviously very good at what they do. They haven’t missed a beat since the launch of the first of the Lord of The Rings trilogy…I always look forward to seeing their work.

Wellington is a bit like vancouver and san francisco put together only that its allot smaller. There are many beautiful view points, you even see some of the mountains from the south island off in the distances, there are also many beautiful hilly suburbs as well.
Good story, i like it!!!
classical and intersting stories that Ilike.

Hollywood are always trying new experiments and making movies on new topics as that of Wind in the Willows.
I had the Wind in the Willows book as a child. I don’t remember the storyline at all, just weird talking animals dressed up like British people. Despite the weirdness, I’m sure the movie will do quite well.
I appreciate films of fantasy genre, they take me away from reality and help to relax:)
