Disney announced the production kickoff recently,
confirming that filming is now underway in Vancouver, Canada. This brings the highly-anticipated project just one step closer to its eventual release on Disney+ in 2022. Peter Pan and Wendy is the second Disney live-action remake for director David Lowery and producer Jim Whitaker, who both worked on 2016’s Pete’s Dragon. However, Disney’s 1953 animated film Peter Pan has remained the most popular adaptation of the tale.
Written by Lowery and his Pete’s Dragon co-writer, Toby Halbrook, the script is inspired by Disney’s Peter Pan, itself based on J M Barrie’s 1911 novel, Peter and Wendy, as well as the classic 1953 animated film from Walt Disney Animation. Production begins in the wake of a number of exciting casting announcements.
