Yesterday evening in Los Angeles the red carpet was unfurled for the world premiere of Peter Rabbit, the latest CG/live action adventure featuring characters dear to the hearts of millions across the world. James Corden voices the errant leporidae as he bounds his way through the calm rolling farmland of home and further afield to the industrial chaos of London. The big screen adventure springs from the century of devotion to Beatrix Potter’s greatest creation, and follows on from a recent all CG reinvention on the small screen.
Joining the man Corden in live action duties are Star Wars’ General Hux himself Domhnall Gleeson, who recently portrayed a children’s author of his own in Goodbye Christopher Robin, and Rose Byrne. Gleeson reunites with his Goodbye Christopher Robin co-star Margot Robbie who joins Daisy Ridley and Elizabeth Debicki as Peter’s sisters Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail.
The film is directed by Will Gluck from a screen story and screenplay by Rob Lieber and Gluck, and based on the characters from the original Tales of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter.
