Wendy
Beasts of the Southern Wild director Benh Zeitlin finally returns with his sophomore feature, an adaptation of Peter Pan told through the eyes of Wendy Darling. It looks to have that vibrant, pulsating energy and style that made his first film so special and memorable.

Isn’t Peter Pan already told through the eyes of Wendy Darling? She’s the audience-surrogate character. A recontextualisation of the story could be cool, but that’s an odd way to put it.

In which year will Disney produce a live-action Frozen remake?

You could make a decent movie set in the Halo universe, but I don’t know if it could star Master Chief. The Chief is just a bizarre character - he’s almost a silent protagonist, but not quite. Silent protagonists like Gordon Freeman are supposed to allow the player to inhabit them, but Master Chief doesn’t quite allow that. He has a backstory, motivations and talks, even if sparsely.

So, he’s a character, but just an incredibly strange one. The only thing he appears to know or care about is war. His only friend is a computer he’s in love with. The beginning of Halo 2 to the end of Halo 4 is basically the same day for him, other than implied brief hanging around between missions and a nap in the middle. At the end of Halo 3 he’s just drifting lost in space and he just casually gets in a stasis pod to wait to drift into some new enemies to fight as that’s literally the only thing he lives for.

He’s basically what happens when you try to give a gun a personality.

Greenlighted 2020: The Year We Were Put in the Corner

I imagine the film will be set in the 80s and she'll be there to say "oh, this reminds me of that time when I was an underage teenager and an older man hosed me good."
