Slumberland Trailer has been released by Netflix after teasing us with dreamy visuals earlier. The fantasy adventure film is set to be released on the streaming platform in the coming month. It is directed by Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire & Mockingjay) and written by David Guion, along with Michael Handelman. It is based on the comic strip, Little Nemo in Slumberland, by Winsor McCay.
The official synopsis of the film reads, “A young girl discovers a secret map to the dreamworld of Slumberland, and with the help of an eccentric outlaw, she traverses dreams and flees nightmares, with the hope that she will be able to see her late father again.”
The film will take audiences to a magical new place, a dreamworld where precocious Nemo (Marlow Barkley) and her eccentric companion Flip (Jason Momoa) embark on the adventure of a lifetime. After her father Peter is unexpectedly lost at sea, young Nemo’s idyllic Pacific Northwest existence is completely upended.

When she is sent to live in the city with her well-meaning but deeply awkward uncle Phillip. Her new school and new routine are challenging by day but at night, a secret map to the fantastical world of Slumberland connects Nemo to Flip, a rough-around-the-edges but lovable outlaw who quickly becomes her partner and guide.
She and Flip soon find themselves on an incredible journey traversing dreams and fleeing nightmares, where Nemo begins to hope that she will be reunited with her father once again. If only she is able to find a precious pearl that will grant her greatest wish.
The cast of the series includes Jason Momoa as Flip, Marlow Barkley as Nemo, Kyle Chandler as Peter, Nemo’s father, Weruche Opia as Agent Green, India de Beaufort, Chris O’Dowd as Uncle Phillip and Humberly González. In the trailer, we see that after finding herself in the world of dreams, she is set on an adventure that might be the answer to all her troubles and more.
