First look at Domhnall GleesonandMargot RobbieinSimon Curtis’ upcoming biopic based on the life of A.A. Milne, the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh (a project previously known as Goodbye Christopher Robin).

As USA Today reported, the movie centers on the father/son relationship between Milne and Christopher Robin, whose stuffed toys inspired Milne to create the magical world of Pooh Bear, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger and the rest of the gang that inhabited the books Winnie-the-Pooh in 1926 and The House at Pooh Corner two years later.

The tomes took England by storm following World War I, but also overshadowed all of Milne’s previous works and put an international spotlight on the family and their nanny Olive (played by Kelly Macdonald).
