Jade Healy is already neck-deep in her next project, Peter Pan and Wendy, another collaboration with director David Lowery. “We’re at the end of it now. My sets are done. I built everything and it’s so fun” she said. “Without saying too much about the film, all I can say is that it’s going to be just the best Peter Pan movie you’ve ever seen. It really is the best Disney remake, I feel pretty confident.”

Q: David is next realizing the Neverland of “Peter Pan & Wendy.” What can we expect from this film, and how do you think that “The Green Knight” has influenced it?

Daniel Hart: I think it’s too early to tell. I haven’t seen enough footage yet to know how “The Green Knight” influenced David’s direction, or other behind-the-camera kinds of decisions. Musically speaking, I do feel like I have the freedom to explore a bit more than I might have explored beyond traditional orchestral techniques pre-“Green Knight,” and beyond what I did with the orchestra in “Pete’s Dragon.” And that prospect excites me.

First look at Peter Pan and Wendy. Good grief, the costumes on this movie suck.

It looks more like underwear than nightwear to me. I guess they wanted her to wear something that looked like pants and not like a dress in this version because it's more "feminist".

Sotiris wrote:I'm assuming another reason they changed it to pants was so it would be easier for the actress to move and partake in action scenes.

Molony stars in the titular role of Peter Pan in the David Lowery-helmed Peter Pan & Wendy, Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s classic tale of a boy who wouldn’t grow up, and the three young siblings he whisks away to the enchanted island of Neverland. The film is expected to be released later this year.

The footage starts off, rather appropriately, with Captain Hook asking, "Tell me, how did you come to Neverland?" We then see Wendy on a windy shore as she encounters the Lost Boys on a cliff — and this time, there are some girls among them. This is even remarked upon with the line, "You're not all boys." Which elicits the response, "So?"

The trio of Darling kids we know from the original animated classic meet Peter Pan in their pajamas and fly off to Neverland from Big Ben, the face of the clock shattering as they take flight from it. Pirates try to shoot them out of the sky with cannons, offering a sense of danger. Hook taunts, "Wendy Moira Angela Darling, where is Peter Pan?" Our hero then jumps in slow motion off a cliff towards a pirate ship floating in the air. Classic stuff! It has somewhat of a "Pirates of the Caribbean" vibe to it.
