About Peter Pan and Wendy
Peter Pan & Wendy is an upcoming American fantasy adventure film directed by David Lowery, who wrote the screenplay with Toby Halbrooks. Jim Whitaker served as producer on the Walt Disney Pictures production, which is a live-action adaptation of Walt Disney’s 1953 animated film Peter Pan, in turn based on the 1904 play Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up (also known as Peter and Wendy) by J. M. Barrie.
Development on a live-action Peter Pan film began on April 13, 2016, with Lowery directing. Lowery was announced as writing the film with Halbrooks, while the production team expanded the next four years due to work in the remake’s script. The film’s title was announced on January 7, 2020.
In February 2018, Whitaker stated that the script was entering early stages of development.
He further explained that the film will be grounded in realism, though it will also be “a big, rollicking adventure, too”.
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”.
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”.
He confirmed that the modern-day adaptation would have to change elements to avoid the racial stereotypes present in the original film.
In December 2019, Lowery stated that he and Halbrooks had written an additional “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.
He described working on the film as “challenging” due to both his personal love for the original film and its popularity among fans.
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”.
The filmmaker stated that the outlook that he and the studio has, is: “if it has to be done, it has to be done right”.
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.
By 2020, the film was officially titled Peter Pan & Wendy
Joe Roth joined the film’s production team as an additional producer
