  • Disney Casts Pete in PETE'S DRAGON Remake



    It was announced last year that Disney would be remaking their classic live-action animated hybrid film, Pete's Dragon. The production has taken a step forward today with the casting of a young actor named Oakes Fegley who will play Pete in the story. They've also cast Oona Laurence, who will play Pete's friend.

    David Lowery (Them Bodies Saints) is set to direct from a script he co-wrote with Toby Halbrooks. According to Variety, the story will be a reinvention of the 1977 film, and it will obviously revolve around Pete and his best friend Elliot, who happens to be a dragon. The first movie was also a musical, but this new film won't include that musical aspect. With the technology we have today to bring these fantasy creatures to life, I'm curious to see what the design will look like for the dragon.
