Disney’s Pete’s Dragon

Disney released a new teaser trailer for their upcoming, “reimagined” film, Pete’s Dragon!

Pete’s Dragon is directed by David Lowery. The screenplay was written by David Lowery & Toby Halbrooks, based on the story by Seton I. Miller and S.S. Field. The film stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Oakes Fegley, and Robert Redford.

Here is an official synopsis of the new, Pete’s Dragon from the press release:
For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert 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 (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes 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 (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon.

Based on the teaser trailer, it appears that, in addition to being visually stunning, this film will also be a very exciting and emotional adventure for audiences!
Furthermore, thanks to CGI and a new, “reimagined” twist, this new Pete’s Dragon looks like it is going to be very different than Disney’s 1977 Pete’s Dragon, which many of us watched as children!

Check out the trailer below:

Pete’s Dragon hits U.S. theaters on August 12, 2016.
