Brenda Chapman, American Animation Director and Writer is set to make her live_action debut with the new fantasy adventure Come Away, and Angelina Jolie and David Oyelowo will feature in the film.

Come Away is imagined as a prequel to Alice in wonderland and Peter Pan. Before Alice went to wonderland and before Peter became pan, they were sister and brother. When their elder brother dies in a tragic accident, they each seek to save their parents, Angelina and David, from their downward spirals of despair until finally they are forced to choose between home and imagination. This sets the stage for their iconic journeys into Wonderland and Neverland.

"Angelina and David are going to bring a beautiful chemistry and depth to this magical story, giving audiences a wonderful step outside the expected," Chapman said.

"Brenda is a singular storyteller. Her decades of experience in creating rich fantasy worlds populated by complex characters make her a dream director for this project, which explores how fantasy functions as a way to cope with reality. Her thoughtful approach to filmmaking and indomitable talent make her the perfect person to bring this story to life," Goodhill said.
