Disney’s live-action adaption of the Stephen Pastis book series Timmy Failure started filming in Vancouver this week.
What’s it about?
11-year-old Timmy runs a detective agency called Total Failure Inc. with his 1,200 pound (and imaginary) polar bear partner. He also has a sidekick named Rollo Tookus who spots all the clues that Timmy misses.
Flmmaker Tom McCarthy (Spotlight) is directing based on a screenplay he co-wrote with the author Stephen Pastis.
Earlier estimates peg the film’s budget at over $40 million.
Timmy Failure (working title Airborne) is filming in Vancouver from June 18th to July 27th. And in Portland, Oregon from August 2nd to September 7th.
