"Listen Up Philip" writer-director Alex Ross Perry has been hired to write the adaptation. The focus will be on an adult version of the book's Christopher Robin. Perry was hired after pitching a take on the story to the studio. The Winnie the Pooh bear character was created by A. A. Milne for a collection of stories in the 1926 book "Winnie-the-Pooh" and the 1928 book "The House at Pooh Corner." Disney licensed the rights to the character in 1961, leading to TV shows and four feature films. Recently Disney sought box-office success with a live-action version of "Cinderella" and has similar plans for an upcoming live-action retelling of "Beauty and the Beast."
