Columbia Pictures and Frederick Warne & Co. have announced that Daisy Ridley (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Elizabeth Debicki (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2) have joined the upcoming live-action/CG hybrid Peter Rabbit movie, which is based upon the beloved book series by Beatrix Potter.
The film is being directed by Will Gluck (Easy A) and will feature James Corden (Into the Woods) as the voice of Peter, while Rose Byrne (X-Men: Apocalypse) is portraying the live-action female lead of Bea. Details on Ridley and Debicki’s roles are being kept under wraps.
