‘Peter Pan & Wendy’ will not be “dark and gritty,” according to David Lowery.
Ironically, for a boy who never grows up, people have grown to love Peter Pan for the past centuries, having been introduced in the early 1900s by Scottish novelist J. M. Barrie. The character has been the symbol of innocence and escapism throughout its existence in literature and film and has remained one of the best in any era.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Peter Pan has always been primarily intended for children, as well as for adults looking for an escape from the messiness of adulthood. So retelling the story in a less child-friendly way can definitely take away the essence of the beloved story. Fortunately, Lowery seems to want to stray away from the apparent trend of childhood-ruining adaptations.
"As a Peter Pan film, it's not going to surprise anyone who knows the original material. It's very fun and it's funny. If it's grounded, it's only because we were trying to shoot on location, build all of our sets, and have everything feel like a real place. I always value the idea that Neverland is a place that a child could actually get to. As to whether it's a dark and gritty version of Peter Pan… it's not.
Peter Pan & Wendy will follow the same exact story fans are familiar with: Wendy, a young girl who wishes to stop time, meets Peter Pan, a young boy who doesn't want to grow up. The film stars Alexander Molony as Peter Pan, Ever Anderson as Wendy, Yara Shahidi as Tinker Bell, and Jude Law as Captain Hook. You can watch the trailer below.
"Wendy Darling, a young girl looking to avoid boarding school, meets Peter Pan, a boy who refuses to grow up. Wendy, her brothers, and Tinker Bell travel with Peter to the magical world of Neverland, where she encounters an evil pirate captain."
