Angelina Jolie (Maleficent, Wanted) and David Oyelowo (Jack Reacher, The Cloverfield Paradox) are in talks to star in a new fantasy drama titled Come Away, which will mark the live-action directorial debut of Brave helmer Brenda Chapman.
According to Deadline, the project will serve as a prequel story to both Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland.
"Before Alice went to Wonderland, and before Peter became Pan, they were brother and sister.

This sets the stage for their iconic journeys into Wonderland and Neverland."
