Principal photography on the Jagged Edge Productions feature is scheduled to begin in early 2024. The project came together after J.M. Barrie’s beloved 1904 play Peter Pan: The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up and 1911 novel Peter And Wendy entered the public domain in the US last year.

Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare from a script by Rhys Frake-Waterfield about a malevolent Peter Pan who steals the souls of his victims and traps them in a realm called Neverland. The screenplay is described as a cross between Insidious and A Nightmare On Elm Street.

Jeffrey and Frake-Waterfield are producing for Jagged Edge Productions while Stuart Alson and Nicole Holland are executive producers for ITN Studios.

Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey grossed more than $7.5m at the global box office.

PEG’s AFM sales slate includes worldwide rights on the Jon Heder, Shannon Elizabeth, and Tom Berenger comedy Plan B from Brandon Tamburri.
