The Personal History Of David Copperfield is being directed by Armando Iannucci and is said to be a modern take on Dickens' chronicle of the life of the iconic character.
The film will follow Copperfield navigate a chaotic world; from his unhappy childhood to the discovery of his gift as a storyteller, while Capaldi will play David's landlord, Wilkins Micawber, who is arrested for debt and sent to the King's Bench Prison.
Peter's latest role comes after he retired from being The Doctor in Doctor Who.
