Netflix's brand new fantasy film, Slumberland, is out, and this one is laden with adventures. The film takes its roots, for the most part, from Winsor McCay's New York Herald comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland. Additionally, the film is also the first live-action film adaptation of the comic strip that has so far been made into a play, an animated film, an opera show, and a video game.
The official synopsis for Slumberland, according to Netflix, reads:
"Joined by a larger-than-life outlaw, a daring young orphan journeys through a land of dreams to find a precious pearl that will grant her greatest wish."
David Guion and Michael Handelman, known for Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, have served as screenwriters, while Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and David Ready have donned the hats of producers. Helmed by Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2), the Netflix flick has an exciting cast led by Jason Momoa and Marlow Barkley.
