"Star Wars" actress Daisy Ridley and Elizabeth Debicki have joined the cast of Sony's live-action/animated film "Peter Rabbit," based on the fictional character made famous in Beatrix Potter's children's stories.

The two will join James Corden (voicing "Peter Rabbit") and Rose Byrne (starring in the live-action female lead role of "Bea"), on the feature, which will be helmed by director Will Gluck from a screenplay by Rob Lieber (via Variety).

The adaptation will be made at Animal Logic, the Sydney-based animation and visual effects production studio behind the global blockbuster "The Lego Movie".

Production on "Peter Rabbit" is scheduled to kick-off in January 2017 and is set for worldwide release in April 2018.
