Voice cast

Production

The film was first revealed in April 2015 through email leaks as a result of the Sony Pictures hack.[7] The official announcement of the film came that December.[8]

On August 4, 2016, it was reported that Will Gluck would be directing the live-action/animated film from a script by Gluck and Rob Lieber, with James Corden cast to voice Peter Rabbit and Rose Byrne to play one of the live-action roles.[9] Gluck will also be producing the film along with Zareh Nalbandian of Animal Logic, which will be providing the visual effects and animation for the film.[9] On September 26, 2016, Daisy Ridley and Elizabeth Debicki had joined the cast, with the live-action production scheduled to commence in Sydney, Australia in January 2017.[10][11][12] On October 18, Domhnall Gleeson was cast as Mr McGregor, known for chasing rabbits out of his vegetable garden, and on October 24, Margot Robbie joined the cast, expected to voice a bunny.[13][14] On November 7, Sia was casted to join the film.[15]

Filming

On December 18, 2016, a first image of the title character, along with the movie's logo, had been revealed.[16] Production began in December 2016.[17][18] Live-action scenes were filmed at Centennial Park in Sydney.[19] In March 2017, filming took place at Central railway station, Sydney which was depicted as London Paddington station.[20]

In April 2017, a film crew were seen in Ambleside and Windermere in the Lake District. A local toy shop on Compston Road, Ambleside, was adapted to be Mr McGregors'.

Release

Peter Rabbit was originally scheduled to be released on March 23, 2018,[8] but it was moved up to February 9, 2018.[citation needed]

Reception

Pre-release

The official trailer for Peter Rabbit was met with negative reception from critics and fans of the character, many of whom labelled the film as being too modern and insulting to Beatrix Potter's works. Collider slammed the trailer as "garbage" and a "low-brow "comedy" cringe-fest".[21] Stuart Heritage from The Guardian stated that "the Peter Rabbit film looks like the result of some blisteringly inept manhandling [...] there’s something genuinely harrowing about the sight of Peter Rabbit – gentle, Edwardian Peter Rabbit – thoughtlessly injuring some birds, or grabbing a pile of lettuce leaves and making it rain like a banker in a stripclub, or literally twerking." and argued "there is no way on Earth that she'd [Beatrix Potter] have ever given the green light to a slow-motion car crash like this."[22] Metro writer James Baldock found that the trailer was "so gut-wrenchingly bad" and that "if the movie lives up to its two-minute preview – [it] is set to be the greatest abomination to grace the big screen since The Emoji Movie." He finished by writing "Listen carefully, and you can just about hear the sound of Beatrix Potter, turning furiously in her grave."[23] On November 7 a new trailer was released to a more positive reception.
