Ryan O'Rourke is a dedicated film and television writer with a passion for horror, sitcoms, and animation of all kinds.
The Big Picture The next entry in Jagged Edge Productions' Poohniverse of public domain horror is drawing ever closer by the day with Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare. From the team behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey and its 2024 sequel, the film promises a nightmarish and extremely dark take on the character originated in 1902 by J.M. Barrie, with Martin Portlock embodying his adult form.
Directed by Scott Jeffrey, Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare stars Megan Placito as Wendy Darling who, rather than galavanting with the boy who never grew up, instead plans to fight back against the disfigured and deranged Peter Pan after he kidnaps her brother Michael. Her journey also leads her to a heroin-addicted Tinkerbell, who's convinced the drugs are pixie dust.
"This is tonally an extremely darker film to Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey," Jeffrey teased to Bloody Disgusting with the release of the poster. Both the original and its sequel go to some bleak places in showing Pooh, Piglet, and friends' violent massacres, but the director said the premise for Neverland Nightmare lent itself to a darker story and is indicative of the different types of horror the Twisted Childhood Universe will explore.
'Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare' Is Just One Piece of the Larger Universe Rounding out the cast for Neverland Nightmare are Peter Desouza-Feighoney, Kit Green, Nicholas Woodeson, Kierston Wareing, Olumide Olorunfemi, Teresa Banham, Charity Kase, and Campbell Wallace. Peter Pan is expected to terrify viewers in time for Halloween, but this is just one step in the larger vision for Rhys Frake-Waterfield's shared Avengers-liked horror universe.
Stay tuned here at Collider for more on Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare and the rest of the Poohniverse as it comes out. Check out the new poster above.
