THE stars keep on rolling on to the set of Peter Rabbit.

Filming began on the movie in Sydney last week when Rose Byrne and her co-stars were spotted on set in Centennial Park.

Yesterday Byrne was seen riding a bicycle during a scene, while Sam Neill was photographed on set for the first time. Neill was nearly unrecognisable in his costume, which included a full beard.

Byrne previously told Confidential she was looking forward to making a film her young son can watch.

“It is one for Rocco so I’m thrilled and I feel very lucky to be home and working,” Byrne said.

“It starts late January and I’ll be filming Peter Rabbit with my friend Will Gluck, and Domhnall Gleeson is in the cast, which I’m really excited about because I’m a fan. I loved (his film) Ex Machina so much, so I’m a big fan.”

Robbie and James Corden will have voiceover roles in the part-animation film.
