2016 has already been a hugely successful year for Disney and Pete's Dragon is another film that is on the horizon.
Pete's Dragon
Yes, there's not long to wait now until the remake of Pete's Dragon hits the big screen... and it really is promising to be a wonderful family film this summer.
Pete's Dragon is a remake of the 1977 film of the same name and will be a mix of live performances and wonderful special effects. David Lowery is in the director's chair and he has teamed up with Toby Halbrooks to pen the film's screenplay.
The brand new trailer for the film has arrived and we have it for you to take a look at:
Pete's Dragon is only the fourth feature film of Lowery's career and his first since Ain't Them Bodies Saints back in 2013. Needless to say, this is the biggest film of his directing career to date.
The director has brought together a fantastic cast as Bryce Dallas Howard, Robert Redford, Oona Laurence, Wes Bentley, and Karl Urban are all on board. Oakes Fegley will also take on the title role of Pete, in what is the biggest role of his young career.
For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales... until she meets Pete (Fegley).
Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete's descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham's stories.
With the help of Natalie (Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon.
Captain America: Civil War, Zootropolis, The Jungle Book, and Finding Dory have been huge hits for Disney in 2016 and Pete's Dragon looks on course to be another enormous success.
Pete's Dragon is released 12th August.
