J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan story has many iterations, and Disney is once again tackling the most famous lost boy in a new Disney+ movie, Peter Pan & Wendy starring Jude Law as Captain Hook, Ever Anderson (Milla Jovovich and director Paul W.S. Anderson's daughter), Alan Tudyk, and Jim Gaffigan. The new trailer and artwork dropped Tuesday, and director David Lowery describes what's different.

It’s off to Neverland once again.

Disney+ released the first trailer for its upcoming live-action Peter Pan & Wendy, which puts a new spin on the classic story based on the J.M. Barrie novel and 1953 animated hit.

“We set out to craft a film that honors both the original J.M. Barrie text and Walt Disney’s animated adaptation,” director/co-writer David Lowery said in a statement. “We wanted to invigorate our retelling with emotional sincerity, an open heart and a grand yearning for adventure.”

He continued, “Hundreds of incredible artists spent many years bringing this film to the screen. I’m excited for audiences to see their work, to go on this ride and to rediscover an evergreen tale from a new perspective.”

According to Disney+, Peter Pan & Wendy follows the Darlings once again, as they leave their London home behind when they meet Peter Pan, the boy who never grows up.

“Peter Pan & Wendy,” a live-action reimagining of the J.M. Barrie novel and the 1953 animated classic, will begin streaming April 28, 2023, exclusively on Disney+.

There, she encounters an evil pirate captain, Captain Hook, and embarks on a thrilling and dangerous adventure that will change her life forever. The film stars Jude Law (“Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore”), Alexander Molony (“The Reluctant Landlord”), Ever Anderson (“Resident Evil: The Final Chapter”), Yara Shahidi (“Grown-ish”), Alyssa Wapanatâhk,...

“Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” Jude Law growls as Captain Hook in the trailer for Disney’s new movie Peter Pan and Wendy. “Where is Peter Pan?”

That’s all we see of Law in the trailer, but the clip still teases a complete transformation of the 50-year-old actor into the menacing old pirate. From there, we see the character face off against Wendy (Ever Anderson), Peter (Alexander Molony), and a full team of lost boys as he exacts revenge for the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grew Up’s past shenanigans.

Black-ish star Yara Shahidi, Alyssa Wapanatâhk, Joshua Pickering, Jacobi Jupe, Molly Parker, Alan Tudyk, and Jim Gaffigan round out the cast. David Lowery (who previously directed the critically acclaimed 2016 Pete’s Dragon) directed and co-wrote Peter Pan and Wendy, drawing from both J. M. Barrie’s 1904 play and Disney’s 1953 animated film. It debuts on Disney+ on April 28th.

Disney+ is taking us back to Neverland! On Tuesday, the streaming giant debuted the first trailer for the live-action movie, Peter Pan & Wendy.

“Tell me, how did you come to Neverland?” a voice says as Wendy (Ever Gabo Anderson) washes up on the shore of a beach and looks for her brothers. As she embarks on her search, she encounters the lost boys … and her journey through Neverland begins.

As the trailer continues, Wendy and her brothers John and Michael, meet Peter Pan (Alexander Molony). Together they all travel to Neverland, where they don’t have to grow up, and can stay young forever.

“What do you say, boys?” Wendy asks her brothers, as Tinker Bell (Yara Shahidi) flutters into their hands. It’s all fun and games until Wendy, John and Michael encounter Captain Hook (Jude Law).

Yara Shahidi as Tinkerbell in Disney’s live-action ‘Peter Pan & Wendy...

The voice of Captain Hook (played by Jude Law) opens Disney+’s Peter Pan & Wendy teaser trailer asking, “Tell me, how did you come to Neverland?” That’s followed by Wendy meeting the Lost Boys (and girls), which leads to our first glimpse of Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, and Tiger Lily before Captain Hook finally reveals himself at the end of the trailer.

Alexander Molony (The Reluctant Landlord) and Ever Anderson (Black Widow) lead the cast in the title roles. Yara Shahidi (Grown-ish) plays Tinkerbell, Molly Parker (House of Cardss) is Mrs. Darling, and Alan Tudyk (Resident Alien) plays Mr. Darling. Joshua Pickering (A Discovery of Witches) is John, Jacobi Jupe is Michael, Alyssa Wapanatâhk (Bones of Crows) plays Tiger Lily, and Jim Gaffigan (The Jim Gaffigan Show) stars as Smee.

The teaser trailer confirmed Peter Pan & Wendy will premiere on Disney+ on April 28, 2023.

The live-action movie is based...

Another animated Disney classic is getting the live-action remake treatment and this latest adventure seems genuinely worth getting excited about.

“Peter Pan & Wendy,” which will debut on Disney+ on April 28, hails from co-writer/director David Lowery, the filmmaker behind “The Green Knight” and “The Old Man and the Gun,” and looks to interpolate both the 1953 Disney animated classic and the original J.M. Barrie source material. Watch the trailer above.

Originally announced in 2016, around the time Lowery was releasing his “Pete’s Dragon” remake theatrically, “Peter Pan & Wendy” is arguably the most exciting live-action adaptation of a Disney animated project in some time. The impressive visual sweep presented in the trailer (actual locations!) combined with the nifty modernization of some of the characters and settings, and the very committed cast (led by Jude Law as a snarling Captain Hook) make it seem like “Peter Pan & Wendy” will be a cut above,...

The first trailer for David Lowery's "Peter Pan and Wendy" is here, and it looks a hell of a lot more interesting than most live-action Disney remakes we've seen in recent years — not to mention most live-action adaptations of the J.M. Barrie classic.

Instead of going the star-studded, CGI-stuffed remake route that has been hit (see: "The Lion King") or miss (see: "Pinocchio") for Disney in recent years, the trailer for "Peter Pan and Wendy" spotlights a cast of young up-and-coming actors and visuals that look about as naturalistic as a story about a boy who can fly can be expected to. Sure, the fact that the first look at this movie doesn't take us to the uncanny valley might be a low bar, but "Peter Pan and Wendy" also has a great filmmaker going for it in "The Green Knight" and "A Ghost Story" director David Lowery.

David...

Though we've known that David Lowery – he of A Ghost Story, The Green Knight and, let's not forget previous Disney live-action adaptation Pete's Dragon – has been at work on another Mouse House in the shape of Peter Pan & Wendy for a while, it feels like we haven't heard much. Disney is changing that, starting the promotional campaign with a first teaser and poster. Take a look…

Lowery, working as usual with co-writer Toby Halbrooks, has adapted Jm Barrie's novel (and the 1953 Disney animation) for this new version, which from the looks of this, follows many of the familiar beats of the story, but with Lowery sprinkling his typical magic over it. Check out, for example, the Lost Boys (and girls) made up of authentically native cast members.

Jude Law, meanwhile, is taking on the villain role as Captain Hook, and he certainly looks the part.

With their well-used narrative,...

The Lost Boys have gotten a bit loosey-goosey with their membership criteria, as seen in the first trailer for Peter Pan & Wendy, Disney+‘s live-action reimagining of the J.M. Barrie novel and the 1953 animated classic.

Premiering Friday, April 28, and directed by David Lowery (The Green Knight, Pete’s Dragon), Peter Pan & Wendy follows Wendy Darling (Black Widow‘s Ever Anderson), a young girl afraid to leave her childhood home behind, as she meets Peter Pan (The Reluctant Landlord‘s Alexander Molony), a boy who refuses to grow up.

All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust in David Lowery’s latest epic.

The “Green Knight” director is behind the new live-action reimagining of a beloved fable with “Peter Pan and Wendy” based on the J.M. Barrie novel and the 1953 animated Disney classic.

Per the official synopsis, Wendy Darling (Ever Anderson), a young girl afraid to leave her childhood home behind, meets Peter Pan (Alexander Molony), a boy who refuses to grow up. Alongside her brothers and a tiny fairy, Tinker Bell (Yara Shahidi), she travels with Peter to the magical world of Neverland. There, she encounters an evil pirate captain, Captain Hook (Jude Law) and embarks on a thrilling and dangerous adventure that will change her life forever.

The ensemble cast also includes Alyssa Wapanatâhk, Joshua Pickering, Jacobi Jupe, Molly Parker, Alan Tudyk, and Jim Gaffigan. Lowery directed the film using a script he co-wrote with collaborator Toby Halbrooks.

The fantastic world of Neverland is getting reimagined in the first Peter Pan & Wendy trailer. The upcoming film is acting as both a new take on Disney's iconic animated adventure and J.M. Barrie's play revolving around the eponymous young boy that never ages in Neverland and brings the young Wendy and her siblings with him on an adventure. The new adaptation comes from co-writer/director David Lowery, who previously helmed the Pete's Dragon live-action remake.

With just two months remaining until its arrival, Disney has revealed the first Peter Pan & Wendy trailer.

The video, as seen above, offers a deeper look at the upcoming Disney remake, namely that of Yara Shahidi's live-action Tinker Bell paired up with Alexander Molony's titular character. The Peter Pan & Wendy trailer also reveals the first haunting look at Jude Law's Captain Hook towering over Wendy and her siblings.

Get ready to return to Neverland… again. Disney has released the new teaser trailer for Peter Pan & Wendy, a live-action reimagining of the original J.M. Barrie novel and the studio’s own animated classic. Peter Pan & Wendy will debut exclusively on Disney+ on April 28th.

While Disney has no shortage of live-action remakes under their belt (with more to come), Peter Pan & Wendy should be on your radar as it’s helmed by David Lowery, best known for Pete’s Dragon and The Green Knight. In addition to directing, Lowery also penned the screenplay alongside Toby Halbrooks. “In making ‘Peter Pan & Wendy,’ we set out to craft a film that honors both the original J.M. Barrie text and Walt Disney’s animated adaptation,” Lowery said. “We wanted to invigorate our retelling with emotional sincerity, an open heart, and a grand yearning for adventure.

Yara Shahidi opens up about her on-set experience filming Disney's upcoming Peter Pan & Wendy, revealing that she thought she was being pranked.

Although showrunners and film creators used to have complete control over the stories they created, fan input is now a very real part of the creation process, as seen with the redesign of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Paramount delayed the film by three months to accommodate fans' comments, and the franchise has since released a sequel, with a third installment planned for 2024.

One of the most common ways for filmmakers and showrunners to give fans what they want is through making couples that were beloved by the fandom and popular in fanfiction canon. Particularly in genre shows, where intricate fandoms play such a big role, characters that the fans want together often get together, at least in the final episode, as a way to say thank you to the fans for their love and devotion.

Disney+ has unveiled the first look at the upcoming live action film, Peter Pan & Wendy, set to premiere on the streaming service in 2023. The movie, a reimagining of the beloved 1953 animated classic, was first announced in 2016 with David Lowery signed on to direct a script he co-wrote with Toby Halbrooks following the pair's collaboration on the Disney remake of Pete's Dragon. By 2020, the central cast members were confirmed, with Alexander Molony and Ever Anderson playing the two title characters Peter Pan and Wendy Darling, respectively.

Ahead of the highly anticipated release of Disney+'s live action Peter Pan & Wendy, a new teaser trailer for all the streaming platform's upcoming projects reveals an initial glimpse at what viewers can expect from the film. The clip features the first meeting between the young Darling family brothers and Alexander Molony's Peter Pan. Check out the trailer below, with the Peter Pan...

Joe Wright's 2015 film, "Pan," an anachronistic and colorful origin story for Peter Pan, sounded like a good idea on paper. Reimagined origin stories were very much in vogue then throughout popular culture, and the tale of how an immortal elven boy came to Neverland only to become rivals with a one-handed pirate is certainly ripe for exploration. Also, Wright was a hot commodity, having directed a Best Picture Oscar nominee ("Atonement"), a strange action film ("Hanna"), and a high-profile literary adaptation ("Anna Karenina"). Additionally, Wright managed to secure an impressive cast that included Rooney Mara, Cara Delevigne, and Hugh Jackman as Blackbeard the Pirate. Levi Miller played Peter Pan, and Garrett Hedlund played an ally to Pan in the form of the young, sexy, two-handed James Hook, a ship's captain destined to live up to his name.

"Pan" was made for a hefty 150 million. On its opening weekend, it made a rather dinky 15 million.

It's that time of year again. The time when everyone gets into the cozy holiday spirit by watching some of the biggest, most classic seasonal movies around. Typically this includes at least one showing each of "A Christmas Story," "It's a Wonderful Life," and "Christmas Vacation," but for some of us, another popular film is on our list: director Nancy Meyers' cozy, feel-good flick, "The Holiday."

The movie is fantastic for many reasons, but we'd be lying if we said part of its charm isn't because Jude Law is absolutely fantastic in it as the slightly messy widower, Graham Simpkins. He dazzles us all with his sweet smile and fantastic portrayal of Mr. Napkin Head, but are we really that surprised? He's delighted us with all sorts of different characters over the years, playing everyone from the wealthy Dickie Greenleaf in "The Talented Mr. Ripley," to everyone's favorite mystery sidekick...

Both of them are unlucky in love and desperate for an escape, so they swap houses to spend Christmas in sunny Los Angeles and snowy England, respectively.

Everyone is happily coupled up on New Year's Eve at the end of the film.

Fans of Enchanted have finally gotten the sequel they’ve waited years for, Disenchanted, courtesy of the streaming-waves of Disney+. Both Enchanted and its sequel used every opportunity to deconstruct the familiar tropes and conventions of traditional fairy tales. Since fairy tales are some of the oldest and most well-worn stories ever told, they’re ripe for satire.

From Shrek to Hook to The Princess Bride to The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, plenty of beloved fantasy movies have poked fun at the time-tested traditions of the fairy tale genre.

While Colin O'Donoghue's voice acting in Luck has shown his continued talents as an actor, his recent nostalgic tweet reminds his fans of his most memorable role to date: Captain Hook in ABC's Once Upon a Time. Known within the series as Killian Jones, O'Donoghue's portrays a more sympathetic version of Hook that won over fans with his hard exterior but sad backstory and kind heart.

From his pirate nature to his refusal to admit his feelings for Emma, there are many trademark qualities that Ouat's Captain Hook has become popular and loved for, as evidenced by the plethora of memes that celebrate and summarize his character.

The project brings Bateman back to Netflix after the conclusion of “Ozark” in April of this year. He starred as Marty Byrde in the crime drama series, which is one of the streamer’s most successful of all time. According to Netflix’s self-reported numbers, Season 4 is their No. 10 most watched English-language TV title of all time, and seasons of “Ozark” were the most watched title of the week several times throughout the show’s run.

Netflix’s The School for Good and Evil depicts several well-known fairy tales in its adaption of the book of the same name. The movie follows best friends Sophie and Agatha (Sofia Wylie and Sophia Anne Caruso) after they are whisked away to study heroism and villainy at the legendary School for Good and its neighbor, the School for Evil. The girls are immediately placed in different schools and begin training to be like the characters from the stories they've read about.

The movie examines classic fairy tale tropes and critiques the binary idea of "good and evil." Of course, it would be impossible for The School for Good and Evil characters to make those points without making references to the fairy tales in question. Characters and artifacts from those stories are sprinkled into the plot, sometimes hidden in the details and sometimes spoken of outright. In fact, there are...

After Netflix dropped The School For Good And Evil's premiere on the Oct. 19, the movie quickly became one of the top fantasy films on the platform. What's more, the property has the potential to evolve further into a proper fantasy series, as it's based on a successful and popular series of young adult novels.

The movie boasts a cast of memorable characters, each with unique powers befitting a story about fairy tales. However, while the cast is certainly diverse, some characters are far more likable than others.

Rafal is an immortal sorcerer who founded the School For Evil. He was also the driving force behind Sophie's temporary heel-turn against Agatha and the school before his defeat.

Autumn typically signals the start of the back-to-school season, but in Paul Feig's latest film, this return contains more magic, monsters, and mystery than pens, pencils, and homework.

In this colorful, sweeping epic, Feig transports us to a familiar world with a magical twist: The would-be heroes and villains of tomorrow are trained at a legendary school. Split into good and evil wings, this is where everyone who's anyone in this fictional land wants to be, especially pals Sophie (Sophia Anne Caruso) and Agatha (Sofia Wyle). So, you can imagine their glee when they receive an invitation to study with the fairy-tale realm's finest tutors. However, the...

Plot: Best friends Sophie and Agatha are kidnapped and taken to the titular School for Good and Evil. After their fortunes are reversed, the duo try to figure out a way to return home. In doing so, their friendship is put to the test.

Review: Netflix tends to market the hell out of its feature film projects. When a movie drops on the streaming network with minimal exposure in the form of TV spots or trailers and in the middle of a week without advance screening for critics, it tends to bode poorly for the finished product.
