Peter Pan
Disney and David Lowery ’s springy - actionPeter Panhas puke its Peter and Wendy . Far from being strangers , the studio and film producer previously collaborated on 2016’sPete ’s Dragon , a re - imagining of Disney ’s 1977 hot - legal action / enliven musical that many turn over to be by far their best remaking from the past decade . Lowery in reality signed on to helm a live - activity retelling of the studio apartment ’s animatedPeter Pan(which debuted in 1953 , based on J.M. Barrie ’s creation)a few months prior toPete ’s Dragonreleasingin theaters . He change his attention elsewhere after that , but is now gearing up to begin shootingPeter Pan & Wendy- as the movie ’s been retitled - as before long as next calendar month .
According toVariety , Disney and Lowery have cast Ever Anderson and Alexander Molony to play , severally , Wendy and Peter inPeter Pan & Wendy .

While it was antecedently reportedPeter Pan & Wendywould be a Disney+ exclusive , Variety ’s sources say the film is expect to receive a theatrical release . That would make mother wit , determine as a traditional adaptation of thePeter Panstory would be difficult to gain on a Disney+ mid - budget . At the same time , Pete ’s Dragon(at $ 65 million ) was much less expensive to develop than other late Disney re - imaginings and Lowery has only persist in to boil out visually resplendent films ( A Ghost Story , The Old Man and the Gun ) on a lower budget since then , soPeter Pan & Wendyshouldn’t cost anything extravagant . He ’s also accumulate a fascinating and eclectic body of work that include the approaching Arthurian fantasyThe Green Knight , so it ’ll be interesting to see if Lowery can fall up with a impudent take on a story as well - known - and often retold - asPeter Pan .
Here is the synopsis for Disney ’s animatedPeter cooking pan :
In stifling Edwardian London , Wendy Darling magnetize her brothers every night with bedtime narrative of play , swashbuckling and the dire Hook . But the children become the heroes of an even greater story when Peter Pan flies into their glasshouse one night and lead them over moonlit rooftops through a Galax urceolata of stars to the lush jungles of Neverland .
