Margot Robbie Goes Back In Time In First Image From Winnie The Pooh Movie

The actress stars alongside her About Time Co-star Domhnall Gleeson in this biopic of Winnie The Pooh creator A. A. Milne - by Hannah-Rose Yee

Margot Robbie Goes Back In Time In First Image From Winnie The Pooh Movie

Margot Robbie and Domhnall Gleeson – the adorable almost-couple from your favourite romcom of recent years About Time – are teaming up once more.

The film is Goodbye Christopher Robin, the long-awaited biopic of A.A Milne, creator of the beloved Winnie the Pooh stories, Deadline reports. Gleeson, 33, a bumbling Irishman of the Hugh Grant, Colin Firth-esque variety, will play the author, while Robbie will take on the role of Daphne, his first wife and mother to Christopher Robin Milne, their son and the inspiration for the series.

And today, the first images from the film - which is shooting in London now - were released, showing Gleeson and Robbie outfitted in '20s fashion. The vintage clothes are a world away from Robbie's past characters' wardrobes, from Harley Quinn's iconic sequinned hotpants to the ghetto-fabulous fashion of The Wolf Of Wall Street. And... is that a shingled flapper-esque bob we spy?

Wondering how Robbie and Gleeson match up to the real life Daphne and A.A Milne? Scroll to the bottom to see an image of the couple in the '20s.

The film is still untitled, but like all good biopics, there’s the perfect mix of nostalgia, romance, history, familiarity and drama in this story, which will follow the Milnes from the moment of Winnie the Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore’s creation through the burgeoning global success of the books and the side effects that fame like this can bring.

The real-life Christopher Robin was haunted by the spectre of his literary incarnation, and said that his father's stories “brought me over the years more toe-curling, fist-clenching, lip-biting embarrassment than any other.”

At the time of his father’s death in 1956, Robin was estranged from his parents, and he never saw his widowed mother in the 15 years that she outlived her husband. He was, however, very close to his nanny Olive Rand. "For over eight years, apart from her fortnight's holiday every September, we had not been out of each other's sight for more than a few hours at a time,” Robin has said of her.

Talk about a cracker of a plot! It’s safe to say we’re already excited for this film, which will be directed by Simon Curtis, who nailed the biopic thing with his most recent flick My Week With Marilyn.

“We are assembling a wonderful cast, headed by two actors I am longing to work with – Domhnall Gleeson and Margot Robbie,” Curtis said in a press release.

Two major Hollywood stars, a beloved literary character and a period setting? Sounds like this film could be heading straight for Awards Season, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Watch this space.
