Hollywood in the Lakes

Location filming took place earlier this month in Ambleside and

Windermere for a new Hollywood movie celebrating one of the

Lake District’s most famous fictional characters.

And movie-goers won’t have to wait long to see the results: The

Tale of Peter Rabbit, a live action and CGI animation adventure

based on the stories of the legendary Beatrix Potter, is expected to

be released in March 2018.

Funnyman James Corden is voicing the lead role of Peter Rabbit

and veteran Australian actor Sam Neill (of Jurassic Park fame) is

also in the line-up of celebrity voices.
