The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with a handful of upcoming “Poohniverse” movies, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Scott Jeffrey directs Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, and Bloody Disgusting is exclusively debuting the horror movie’s extremely bloody official trailer today. Check it out below.
Expect the film in theaters in early 2025.
The Jagged Edge Productions film — being sold by ITN Studios — 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 heroine, convinced that it’s pixie dust.
Jeffrey tells us, “This is tonally an extremely darker film to Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey. When dealing with 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren being abducted, it felt right. All of the films from our Poohniverse will feel different from the last. So, if one isn’t for you, then maybe the next will be. Peter Pan is the most vicious of them all. He is twisted, cruel and cunning.”
The cast includes Megan Placito as Wendy Darling, Peter Desouza-Feighoney as Michael Darling (The Pope’s Exorcist), Kit Green as Tinkerbell, Martin Portlock (Wolf Manor) as Peter Pan, Nicholas Woodeson (Skyfall), Kierston Wareing (Fish Tank), Olumide Olorunfemi (Venom: Let There Be Carnage), Teresa Banham, Charity Kase and Campbell Wallace.
Created by J.M. Barrie way back in 1902, the character of Peter Pan – like Winnie the Pooh – is in the public domain, even if the iconic Disney iteration of the character is very much not.
The team’s Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is now available to stream exclusively through Amazon, and we’ve been told that Pinocchio: Unstrung will begin shooting next month.
