The Walt Disney
Studios has released the first full trailer for the upcoming updated reboot of
their 1977 animated/live-action hybrid movie starring Shelley Winters,
Red Buttons, and Mickey Rooney, Pete's Dragon.
Directed by David Lowery ("Ain't Them Bodies
Saints") from a script he and Toby Halbrooks wrote together, Pete's Dragon
is the adventure of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliott, who
just so happens to be a dragon.
Opening in theaters on on August
12, Disney’s Pete’s Dragon also stars Robert Redford, Oakes Fegley, Bryce Dallas Howard, Karl Urban, Isiah
Whitlock Jr., Wes Bentley, and Oona Laurence.
For years, old wood carver Mr.
Meacham (Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce
dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his
daughter, Grace (Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little
more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Fegley). Pete is a mysterious
10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a
giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliott seems
remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories. With the help of
Natalie (Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Bentley) owns the
local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he
belongs, and the truth about this dragon.
