Welcome to the Legion!

Have we talked about me and dragons yet? I love dragons. My entire personality up until–nope, wait, still–is about my love of dragons. DRAGONS!!!!

Okay, got that out of my system. Pete’s Dragon is a remake of the 1977 animated Disney film of the same name.

This updated version will also follow an orphan boy named Pete (Oakes Fegley), who lives with his dragon in the forest. The film also stars Robert Redford as an old woodcarver who tells tall tales of the dragon, which his daughter Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard) writes off as fiction until she meets Pete. Oona Laurence appears as Natalie, daughter of local lumber-mill-owner Jack (Wes Bentley), who helps Grace get to the root of Pete’s origins. Karl Urban also stars in the film, directed by David Lowery.

We expect a full trailer from Disney to drop on Sunday, but for now, here’s the motion poster!
