Based on the details inDeadline ’s report , do Awaysounds far more like an original write up than a prequel to eitherAlice in Wonderlandand / orPeter Panin the traditional sensation . Beyond that , Peter Panalready got a neat - forward prequel three years ago - in the form of Joe Wright’sPan- and Alice made her rejoinder to the big screen just two years back , via Disney ’s live - action sequelAlice Through the Looking Glass . Both films were decisive and commercial-grade dashing hopes anyway , so a fresher approach to the fairy tales that inspired them , a laCome Away , sounds all the unspoiled for it .
Further , Come Awayis but the latest project that the Oscar - winning Jolie has signed on for of late , along withMaleficent IIand Disney’sThe One and Only Ivanadaptation . Her rejoinder to acting is for sure welcome at that , and a collaboration with the ever busy ( and talented ) Oyelowo would be exciting news regardless of the undertaking in question . Couple their affaire with Chapman behind the photographic camera and an intriguing assumption , andCome Awayhas the voltage to make for a powerful illusion parable about how masses use their imaginations to battle such real - world devil as grief and worked up suffering .
