Slumberland Is It Coming In October?

Slumberland, a high-budget fantasy film produced by Netflix, will soon be released on Netflix. It is the newest fantasy story for kids to be added to the Netflix original schedule for 2022.

This live-action adaption, which is based on the comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland by Winsor McKay and first appeared in 1905, is scheduled to debut on Netflix in November.

The first feature-length film adaptation of the original comics was the Japanese animated film Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, which was released in 1989. This film will be the second full-length feature adaptation of the original comics.

At the beginning of 2020, Francis Lawrence was announced as the director of Slumberland. Michael Handelman and David Guion are responsible for the writing of Slumberland collectively. This will be their second time working together.

The film Slumberland was acquired by Netflix immediately after Lawrence was named the director, and filming was supposed to start that summer.

However, because of the epidemic, the production was postponed until February 2021. The film was shot over the course of around three months, ending on May 19 of the same year. To learn more about the film Slumberland, keep reading.

Story Details Of The Film

Based on Winsor McCay’s Little Nemo in Slumberland from 1905, Slumberland on Netflix will be a dark comedy. The Netflix version will feature a little girl instead of the young boy who is the focus of the plot in the original comic; Nemo will now be called Nema. In light of this, a little girl named Nema will be the focus of the movie’s official synopsis.

Nema, a young girl, has been having nightmares in which she is traveling to a magical world with the assistance of a gigantic creature that is half-man and half-monster to look for her missing father. Nema, who is 11 years old, lives with her father Peter in a lighthouse and has learned to sail.

Peter tragically dies one night during a storm at sea. Nema is made to move in with her distant uncle Philip, who is boring and unrelated to Peter.

In her fantasies, Nema finds a place named “Slumberland.” She meets Flip (Momoa), a being who claims to have been an outlaw alongside Peter in the past, robbing stuff out of peoples’ dreams. Flip claims to know a way for Nema to wish for her father to return, so she chooses to embark on a journey with him.

Slumberland Teaser Trailer

Netflix shared a brief teaser for the intriguing new film along with the release date information. The video features Jason Momoa and Marlow Barkley in action and highlights the amazing CGI work.

You can also tell that Nema must have desired for her pet pig to come to life, as you see the plushie by her side during many daring moments. This is quite similar to the character of Icarus, the flying squirrel, from the animated picture that was released in 1989. Check out the video below for a film trailer.

After some time, Netflix unveiled the official trailer for Slumberland, along with some key art:
