Peter Rabbit, considered one of the greatest classics of Beatrix Potter, jumps to the big screen with the support of a great cast.
Domhnall Gleason is one of the most talented actors of today, but also one of the most requested. For this reason the Irishman usually has appearances in -literal- all kinds of films, ranging from Brooklyn independent dramas to popular Harry Potter blockbusters, Star Wars and without forgetting short films or television series Catastrophe.
His next film will mark an interesting foray into family cinema with Mr. Rabbit, adaptation to the work of Beatrix Potter about a cunning rabbit trying to sneak into the harvest of a hardened farmer.
Domhnall Gleason has been chosen to play the human character in our story. For its part, the 'animal' team will receive their voices from a very interesting cast composed of Daisy Ridley, Margot Robbie and Elizabeth Debicki James Corden, noting that the latter will play the titular rabbit. Finally, the cast will be supplemented by Rose Byrne Sam Neill.
We know it will be fun, but will it emulate what was done by one of the great children's writers of all times? We hope that this will be the case, after all, the film will be directed by Will Gluck, who already demonstrated his good handling of family cinema with Annie.
Peter Rabbit premieres on February 9, 2018.
Mr. Thomas McGregor's farm has a new neighbor: Bea, an animal lover. He tries to conquer her but she seems to prefer the rabbit Peter, who dresses with a blue jacket and spurs the other animals to sow chaos at McGregor's house as soon as he gets the chance. After all, Peter has a rivalry with McGregor dating back to when he was a boy, also has a sister, but much more responsible than him, named Flopsy.
In making this film we have always felt humble guardians entrusted with Peter's legacy. My parents introduced me to Peter and I introduced him to my children - it is a great honor for me to direct a film that will take him to cinemas around the world - Will Gluck.
Created by writer and illustrator Beatrix Potter in 1902, Peter Rabbit was the protagonist of some books for children embellished by the author's watercolors. The first was rejected by all the editors of the time and Potter where to self-publish it - with images printed in black and white and part for the color cover.
When this edition, very rare today, went quickly exhausted, one of the publishers who had rejected it changed his mind and turned Peter Rabbit into a great publishing phenomenon. It is also the first character whose image has become a successful property, starting with a rag doll created by the same Potter at the beginning of the century.
Despite the director Will Gluck talk about a project born and raised in the name of respect and humility, the trailer of the film was greeted by horrified reactions for the update of the character, considered vulgar, rude and totally devoid of its features characteristic. Peter has always been a kind of disobedient rabbit, in fact in his first adventure ignored the maternal warnings and went for a feast of vegetables in McGregor field, ending up losing the jacket that the factor will use to make a scarecrow. On the other hand, however, the film's Peter is an adult version and as such should have learned the lesson, instead we see it more dissolute than ever. They aroused particular indignation in the English newspapers, scenes in which the protagonist overwhelms some birds, he twericks and throws lettuce leaves as if they were banknotes in a strip club. The Guardian came to write "Beatrix Potter was famous for protecting his work, so he is neither in heaven nor on Earth that would have approved a car accident like this film".
Verdict:
The computer-generated animals are really charming. It is worth to hop to your favorite movie centers.
