James Corden and Rose Byrne in talks for Peter Rabbit movie

August 6, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Back in October it was announced that Will Gluck (Easy A) is directing a live-action / CG hybrid adaptation of Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit, and now we have our first casting news for the project.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, James Corden (Into the Woods) and Rose Byrne (X-Men: Apocalypse) are both in talks to join the film, with Corden set to lend his voice to the character of Peter Rabbit, and Byrne taking on an as-yet-unrevealed live-action role.

The film is described as “a modern interpretation centering on the rivalry between mischievous young hopper Peter Rabbit and Mr. McGregor, a senior trying to keep a rabbit-free garden.”
