In the final instalment of my in-depth conversation with Benh Zeitlin at the Bowery Hotel in New York, we discussed how he developed a relationship between Shay Walker (mother Angela Darling) and Tommie Lynn Milazzo, who plays her baby Wendy, casting the twins Gavin Naquin and Gage Naquin, and working with his sister Eliza Zeitlin on their “shared vision” for Wendy, shot by Sturla Brandth Grøvlen (Josephine Decker’s Shirley) and starring Devin France as the adolescent Wendy.

Wendy director Benh Zeitlin on the Montserrat volcano: "Every time I would go back there I had to rewrite the script because things would just be growing at this rate that’s exponential. It’s so fertile and so alive.”
Benh Zeitlin’s Wendy, a free-range take on Jm Barrie’s classic story of Peter Pan, co-written with his sister Eliza Zeitlin, who is also the production designer, has Wendy Darling living with her single mother (Shay Walker) and twin brothers James and Douglas (Gavin Naquin and Gage Naquin) above the diner they run right by the railroad tracks in rural Louisiana.

Beasts of the Southern Wild filmmaker Benh Zeitlin's next feature will be Wendy. And it now has a release date.
Benh Zeitlin has taken his time crafting his follow-up to 2012 feature film debut Beasts of the Southern Wild. Zeitlin directed, co-wrote, and co-scored by that film (adapted from a one-act play called Juicy and Delicious by Lucy Alibar) made the film for a budget of $1.8 million. It would go on to make over $23 million and would earn four Oscar nominations, including one for Best Picture.
Zeitlin's second film is called Wendy, and it is a reimagining of Peter Pan filmed in Montserrat, an island south of Antigua.
Wendy Release Date
Wendy will arrive on February 28, 2020. Should be a nice bright spot deep into the winter doldrums.

In Benh Zeitlin’s “Wendy,” the reimagining of the classic “Peter Pan” tale, Wendy and the other kids don’t want to grow up.
“Swear on your mother, you will never grow up,” one kid says to the other on the island.
“So began the legend of Peter, the boy that never grew up,” a voiceover explained. “This is where lost boys go when they are really lost.”
