View fullsize

Disney has released the first trailer for their upcoming remake of Pete's Dragon, and judging from this first look, the movie looks like it has the wonderfully magical Disney vibe that we all love. This trailer does a great job of building the mystery and suspense of the story, and it also keeps the full look of the dragon character to just a tease. I'm excited to see more.

The movie is being directed by David Lowery (Ain’t Them Bodies Saints), and it boasts an impressive cast of actors that includes Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World), Oakes Fegley (This is Where I Leave You), Wes Bentley (The Hunger Games), Karl Urban (Star Trek), Oona Laurence (Southpaw), and Robert Redford (Captain America: The Winter Soldier).

For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert 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 (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes 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 (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon.

Disney’s Pete’s Dragon opens in theaters on August 12th, 2016.
