It looks like the English weather has arrived just in time for the new Peter Rabbit movie that is being shot in Sydney over summer. Film crews decked out in yellow Mackintoshs have been spotted in Sydney's Centennial Park constructing quaint Tudor-style houses.
Margot Robbie, Rose Byrne and James Corden are set to star in the film, which is based on Beatrix Potter's classic children's books set in the English countryside. The book series has sold more than 150 million copies in 35 languages since it was first published in 1902.
