Peter Pan & Wendy is an upcoming American adventure fantasy film directed by David Lowery, and written by Lowery and Toby Halbrooks, with Jim Whitaker and Joe Roth acting as producers. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, the film is a live-action adaptation of Disney's 1953 animated film Peter Pan, itself based on the play Peter and Wendy by J.M. Barrie. The film will star Alexander Molony and Ever Anderson in the titular roles.

Development on a live-action Peter Pan film began on April 13, 2016, with Lowery being set to direct and write the film alongside Halbrooks, with the production team expending the next four years working on the remake's script. The film's title was announced on January 7, 2020.

Cast

  • Alexander Molony as Peter Pan, a boy who lives in Neverland and refuses to grow-up.[1]
  • Ever Anderson as Wendy Darling, a young girl who, not wanting to grow-up, is taken by Peter to Neverland.[1]

Production

Development and pre-production

In April 2016 it was announced that Walt Disney Pictures is developing a live-action adaptation of the 1953 animated film, Peter Pan.[2] David Lowery signed on as director, with a script he co-wrote with Toby Halbrooks. The pair previously worked together on the 2016 remake of Pete's Dragon.[2] Jim Whitaker will serve as producer on the project.[2]

In February 2018, Whitaker stated that the script was entering early stages of development.[3] He further explained that the film will be grounded in realism, though it will also be "a big, rollicking adventure, too".[3] By October of the same year, the fourth draft of the script had been completed with a fifth draft underway. Lowery stated that "the number-one priority is getting the script right".[4] The filmmaker elaborated that the project is personal to him, as he is a fan to the original, acknowledging that he had been "agonizing over every little detail".[4] He confirmed that the modern-day adaptation would have to change elements to avoid racial stereotypes.[4]

In December 2019, Lowery stated that he and Halbrooks had written an addition "draft-and-a-half" at that point, adding that it would have to have "a few more drafts to go" before it is ready to be filmed.[5] He described working on the film as "challenging" due to both his personal love for the original film and its popularity among fans.[5] He also feels that he had to justify the film's existence due to other live-action Peter Pan films having been developed, while also doing "justice to the source material".[5] The filmmaker stated that the outlook that he and the studio has, is: "[i]f it has to be done, it has to be done right".[5] Comparing his work on Peter Pan to Pete's Dragon, the filmmaker stated that the latter was less stress seeing as the original had been an "under-the-radar Disney title" with little following, which allowed him more creative freedom.[5] By January 2020, the film was officially titled Peter Pan & Wendy. Joe Roth joined the film's production team as an additional producer.[6]

Casting

In March 2020, Alexander Molony and Ever Anderson were reported to have been cast as Peter Pan and Wendy Darling, respectively.[7] By July of the same year, Jude Law had entered early negotiations to play Captain James Hook.[8]

Filming

Production for Peter Pan & Wendy is set to take place in Canada.[6] It was originally set to begin on April 17, 2020, and wrap in August.[6][9] However, the film was put on hold on March 13, 2020 following the COVID-19 pandemic.[10][11] Filming is expected to begin on March 8, 2021.[12]Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Release

Peter Pan and Wendy is set to be released theatrically.[1] The film was originally set to be released on Disney's streaming service, Disney+.[13]
