The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with several upcoming “Poohniverse” movies. These include Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Variety has obtained the first image from Neverland Nightmare, seen below.
According to the website, Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling as she attempts to rescue her brother Michael from “the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.” Along the way, she meets Tinkerbell, who in this twisted version of the story is seen taking heroin, convinced it’s pixie dust.
Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, which is expected to release on Halloween 2024. Jeffrey explains, “I am taking inspiration from French cinema while in prep for this movie. The film will be incredibly tense. I would say it’s a mesh between Switchblade Romance and The Black Phone with our own spin on it. It is a nasty, violent, and incredibly dark movie.”
The cast includes Megan Placito as Wendy Darling, Kit Green as Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) as Michael Darling, and Charity Kase (RuPaul’s Drag Race) as James. Martin Portlock will play the twisted version of Peter Pan.
Created by J.M. Barrie in 1902, the character of Peter Pan, like Winnie the Pooh, is in the public domain, although the iconic Disney iteration of the character is not.
