‘Peter Rabbit’ gets pantsless new trailer and first look images

Peter Rabbit (James Corden) in Columbia Pictures' PETER RABBIT.

The beloved Beatrix Potter character is coming to the big screen, and Sony Pictures Releasing has sent over a new trailer and some new images of the pantless hero. PETER RABBIT hits Australian cinemas on 22 March 2018. It’s directed by Will Gluck (Easy A, Annie), alongside co-writer Rob Lieber.

Peter Rabbit makes the jump from beloved storybook character to the big screen in this irreverent, contemporary comedy with attitude. Peter’s feud with Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleason) escalates over both the vegetable treasure in McGregor’s forbidden garden and their rivalry for the affections of the warm‐hearted animal lover who lives next door (Rose Byrne). James Corden voices the character of Peter delivering a delightfully entertaining mix of mischief, adventurous spirit, and charm, with Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Daisy Ridley performing the voice roles of the triplets, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail.

Following the tradition of other recent animated/live action fare, it’s a very energetic and pop music-driven piece, and we assume Domhnall Gleason is present to fulfil his quote of appearing in at least one film a week until the end of time.
