This time we tackle a classic of children's literature, Pierre Lapin. This work designed by the English writer Beatrix Potter is one of the greatest bestsellers of children's literature. Sony has released the first trailer for this adaptation which will be released on April 4, 2018 in France.
The story has been translated in many places around the world. There are many derivatives today. In France, an animated series adaptation aired on France 5.
The cast of this feature film is attractive since it includes Domhnall Gleeson (son of Brendan Gleeson, the headliner of Mister Mercedes), Rose Byrne (X-Men), James Corden (yes, the instigator of these fabulous carpool).
In this feature film, we follow the adventures of Pierre Lapin, a facetious animal who seems according to the trailer to have the goal only to party with all his animal companions. The film will mix CGI characters and live action. Domhnall Gleeson should be the target of our heroes.
The tone of these first images is quite light and festive, parents and children will surely have a good time. It will certainly be one of the family movies of the upcoming Easter holidays. We'll see if the film will then be turned into a lucrative franchise for Sony Columbia.
