'Peter Rabbit' Trailer: Domhnall Gleeson Has Hare Raising Trouble

Domhnall Gleeson certainly seems to be covering the “movies based on childhood favorites” bases pretty well. Next month, he’ll get dramatic telling the story behind the creation of Winnie The Pooh in “Goodbye Christopher Robin.” And after he goose steps around in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” the actor will hop over to “Peter Rabbit,” where he’ll get into all kinds of hare raising trouble. (Sorry about the puns, but also, not really).

This live-action/animated hybrid features the voices of James Corden, Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Daisy Ridley, and somewhat surprisingly directed by Will Gluck (“Easy A,” “Friends With Benefits,” “Annie“), the movie will offer a new spin on the hapless Mr. McGregor who tries to get Peter and his pals out of his house and life. Here’s the official synopsis:

Peter Rabbit, the mischievous and adventurous hero who has captivated generations of readers, now takes on the starring role of his own irreverent, contemporary comedy with attitude. In the film, Peter’s feud with Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) escalates to greater heights than ever before as they rival for the affections of the warm-hearted animal lover who lives next door (Rose Byrne). James Corden voices the character of Peter with playful spirit and wild charm, with Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Daisy Ridley performing the voice roles of the triplets, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail.

“Peter Rabbit” opens on February 9th.
