TheDisInsider reported a bit of pixie dust as they shared an exclusive report saying: “In a new production sheet that we’ve managed to get our hands-on, it’s revealed that the project was recently been assigned a new writer within the last year or so. Currently, Maria Melnik is listed as the scribe. She’s probably most known for her work on both Escape Room films and American Gods. On top of that proof that the project still has a pulse, the sheet also features several incredibly detailed character breakdowns. In addition to giving us insight into what other characters the story will center on, they also do a fantastic job of framing the planned plot for the film. For example, Tinkerbell’s character breakdown not only describes her and her association to Peter Pan but indicates that the story will explore her relationship prior to Peter meeting Wendy.”

The unofficial synopsis of the Tinker Bell movie states that “after Peter becomes gravely injured, “Tink” makes a deal with the head fairy (named Variel Tarin) to save his life. This results in Peter staying a 9-year-old forever and her losing her voice. The story doesn’t end there though. After Peter meets Wendy, Tink becomes incredibly jealous. However, when Hook kidnaps Peter she and Wendy must team up to save him before it’s too late.” That sounds SUPER interesting! Peter Pan and the Lost Boys will also have a role. And yes, the classic Peter Pan character, Captain Hook is suspected to be part of the live action Disney movie as well.
How is Reese Witherspoon involved in the Tinker Bell tale? Witherspoon is still attached as the film’s producer, though it’s not made entirely clear if she still plans to star as Tinkerbell.
