The filmmaking team behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey is in the process of building their fairytale horror universe including other projects such as Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.

Today we’ve got a first-look photo to share with you for Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, which features Peter as a twisted, scarred, and deranged man.

The movie follows “Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt 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 will be seen taking heroin, convinced that it’s pixie dust.”

The movie is being directed by Scott Jeffrey, who said in a statement: “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 movie stars Megan Placito as Wendy Darling, Kit Green as Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) as Michael Darling, and Charity Kase as James. Martin Portlock will be playing this dark and disturbed version of Peter Pan.

The movie is expected to be released in Halloween 2024.
