Netflix has released the first clip for its upcoming fantasy adventure film Slumberland – and it looks fantastic.
Released during the Tudum 2022 global fan event, Netflix has given us a first close look at the family-friendly film starring Jason Momoa. And by all accounts, it looks set to make for a heady and potentially heartwarming Netflix movie.
Watch the extended clip below:
The 80-second clip doesn’t reveal much about the film’s plot, but it does show the solid chemistry between Momoa’s Flip and Marlow Barkley’s Nema. The former likes to impose Slumberland’s rules on his partner-in-crime, but, unbeknownst to Flip, Nema is more than meets the eye. Looks like Flip did his job in the banter department.
Aside from the couple’s natural rapport, Slumberland looks like it could be a nice movie to watch. Those folding chairs, the butterflies building a new dream world, and those cute pig toys seem to amaze viewers as much as they amaze.
Based on Winsor McCay’s Little Nemo in Slumberland comic strip, Slumberland will see Nema team up with Flip to try and see her late father Nemo (Kyle Chandler) one last time. Weruche Opia, India de Beaufort and Chris O’Dowd are among the supporting cast of the film. Meanwhile, Francis Lawrence – who directed The Hunger Games films – is in the directing role, with the film script written by David Guion and Michael Handelman (both Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb).
Netflix will release Slumberland in time for Thanksgiving (November 24), and the film will hit the streaming service November 18.
