I was invited to sunny California last week to enjoy a three day event, getting to know more about Peter Rabbit Movie, while enjoying super fun activities!
I will be sharing it all with you here on the blog, but I wanted to start with the cast interview, which, for me, was the highlight of my trip!
Picture this:
A garden setting with sunny background and chairs set around it to welcome the conversation about how the movie was made with a stellar cast and the director!
Yes, a very intimate press conference with 20+ members of the press and children who had a chance to interview and hear all the fun stories about how the movie was conceived and came to life, blending priceless performances with animation to give you that front row seat inside Beatrice Potter’s world!
The Cast
James Corden
Rose Byrne
Margot Robbie
Domhnall Gleeson
Elizabeth Debicki
Director: Will Gluck
Some of my Peter Rabbit Cast Interview favorite moments were:
Elizabeth Debicki:
” I love that when when we were recording, they recorded us, so when I looked at the animation later, I could sort of see us in the live animation of the bunnies, which is a lovely thing to see!”
Will Gluck:
- “So much of this is their personalities…..We had so many sessions, so many times to rewrite it….what we thought Beatrice Potter would kind of smile down on us. Does this make sense in her world. We were religious in that regard.”
- “Ideal age range: 2-98, you will never feel left out.”
- “After 3 minutes you will forget these animals are computer generated. The characters come to life and you can see the actors in them, because of the amazing animation job.”
James Corden:
- “The animation process was back and forth with the voice recording … Constantly evolving, which made the whole thing feel very organic, because it was always moving and evolving.”
- “My son said: “what I took out of it was that everybody makes mistakes, but what’s important is how you react after the mistakes.” I thought it was a wonderful message.”
- About Carpool Karaoke with animals:” I would do with all the animals … and we would sing a whole collection with songs which have animals in it, who let the dogs out … songs with animal base in them.”
Margot Robbie:
“The lisp was always in the script. I loved it, tough … it’s quite endearing about a character with a lisp … “I always enjoy playing someone who is different from myself … saying things I wouldn’t say … ”
Domhnall Gleeson:
“The aim with the film is to make children laugh, happy.”
You can watch the whole interview, just click on the video below:
I can’t wait for you to see the movie and enjoy the magical experience we all had this past weekend!
You can pre-order tickets HERE! Peter Rabbit opens in theaters Feb 9th!
I will be sharing more on the event here soon!
Can’t wait to hear what you think, as usual, give us a Trendy Shout!
I love animation movies and I really admire the people behind it. They successfully pull the movie. You would not think that is just technology. Looks so real.
This move is just the bees knees! The cast really sells it.
What an amazing group of people. They made such a good movie.
I am so happy you got to do the press junket for Peter Rabbit. It looks like such a cute movie!
It will be interesting to see how they’ve changed such a timeless classic book in making it into a movie. I am not familiar with most of the cast, except for James Corden from Carpool Karaoke and Domhnall Gleeson from Harry Potter.
We are seeing the movie next weekend for a birthday party. This interview made me even more excited to see it!
It must have been a great experience interacting with the cast and crew of Peter Rabbit. I always find the behind the scene actions of movies very fascinating.
Thank you for giving us the behind the scenes experience for this super cute movie. Of all the people in our family, I think I’m the most excited to see it. Only one more day for me to wait!
This looks like such a fantastic experience for you. I love how Margot Robbie’s career has been exploding recently, and Rose Byrne is one of my favorites. I can’t wait to see the movie with my 8 year old daughter.
Awesome! I love James Corden and I know this movie is going to be fantastic! I loved Peter Rabbit as a child and I can’t wait to see a full length Peter Rabbit movie!
I can’t wait to see Peter Rabbit! It looks like it’s going to be SUCH a funny movie!!
I am sure this movie would be a hit with the kids and family! Such a great opportunity to interview the cast!
Wow, what a privilege you’ve had to be part of the select few and interview these people! It must be also awe-inspiring to be able to see them personally, scrutinize them and see the “real” them. Must be really exciting too!
I enjoyed reading your interview with the cast. Peter Rabbit would be a nice film for the kids to see. My children are young adults, but since they grew up reading books about Peter Rabbit, I am sure they’d be more than willing to take their younger cousins to watch this movie too.
We are so excited to see this movie! I read these books when I was little and passed the same ones onto my kids, they have become a favorite of theirs as well. When we saw that this movie was coming out we knew it is a must see!
How fun to be able to participate in a press conference with all of them. I can’t wait to see the movie.
Great recap of the press conference. I’m a huge fan of Rose Byrne, and really loved her comments and take on the movie.
I would have loved this. How fun to be close enough to go to such a neat thing. This is my Easter present to myself. I cannot wait to go and eat Reese’s peanut butter cups!
That’s one fun cast! I can’t wait to take my kids to see Peter Rabbit next week, seems like a fun movie!
What a great experience to meet with the cast. My kids cannot wait to see this movie!
Oh how fun!! I can’t wait to take my grandkids to see Peter Rabbit!!
We are really excited to see Peter Rabbit. It looks like a very cute movie for sure
I am so excited for Peter Rabbit. I always loved reading Peter Rabbit to my kids.
I can’t wait to see this. It looks like it’s going to be fantastic.
It’s so nice to learn more about the movie. I’m excited to watch it with the whole family! I think it’s going to be lovely.
I have always loved the story of Peter Cottontail. I am looking forward to seeing the movie. How very fun that you were able to go and interview the cast. It looks like you all had a lot of fun.
I keep on seeing previews for this now and I am so excited! What a wonderful opportunity to be able to do a cast interview.
I’ve got to be honest: none of the actors’ names sound familiar! I loved their opinions about their approach to the movie.
I am so excited to see this movie. James Corden is hilarious and I have no doubt he’ll shine in this movie. Looks like the cast gels well together and had fun working on the movie.
What a great interview with the cast of Peter Rabbit. I can’t wait to see this film, I bet it will be wonderful. I can imagine it’s fun as an actor or actress to play a role in a film that isn’t the same as your true character/personality, I bet that’s fun to do!
Most cast interviews are conducted inside. I like this twist! It makes the interviews seem more loose. I have a feeling I won’t be left out when I get the chance to see it.
We can not wait to see Peter Rabbit come to life on the big screen! Both my 9 year old son and my 5 year old nephew have been anxious to see this one.
We saw an ad for this the other day. My kids are so excited to see it.
What a great interview with the cast! I know my kids are looking forward to the movie. The garden setting for the interview is a unique setting!
Working on this film must have been so fun. It’s awesome that they were able to bring their personalities to the animated characters so effectively.
I love James Corden! I bet this trip was amazing. This is one movie that my daughter has expressed interest in seeing.
Something whole family can enjoy watching. Fun for you to get know cast better
I really enjoyed your interview with the cast of Peter Rabbit! I love reading cast interviews for movies. It gives me a better understanding of the characters in the movie before I watch it.
I’m actually super excited to see Peter Rabbit! I loved Peter Rabbit as a kid and if this film is anything like the live-action Paddington films, I know it’s going to be adorable.
My youngest wants to see Peter Rabbit. It’s always been a favorite of mine. The picked some good actors for it.
It is so much fun to get that connection to a movie I am sure you can’t wait to see it again and again. I never realized they go back and forth with the animation and voices how cool is that. We will go see it soon
How cool! We’ll be seeing this movie. The preview looked amusing and I’ve always liked this story.
I am so excited to see this movie. I love this new modern take on the story of Peter Rabbit. It looks so good!
What a fun event!! All the talent seems so down to earth and very into the parts they played! I cannot wait to take my nephews to the movie on Friday!!
