The specialty box office is headed towards the second star on the right and straight on till morning with Benh Zeitlin’s magical adventure Wendy, a fresh reimagination of J. M. Barrie’s classic tale of Peter Pan. The pic from Searclight Pictures is Zeitlin’s follow up to his Oscar-nominated Beasts of the Southern Wild which was released in 2012.
Co-written by Zeitlin and his sister Eliza, Wendy isn’t necessarily cut from the same cloth from Disney animated feature, rather it speaks to Zeitlin’s hyperealstic aesthtetic. The film, which debuted at Sundance earlier this year, stars newcomer Devin France in the titular role of Wendy, based on the heroine Wendy Darling of Peter Pan. In Zeitlin’s vision of Neverland, Wendy and her friends get whisked away by a boy named Peter where they get lost on a mysterious island where no one ages and time stands still.

In case you couldn't attend this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Robert Gilpin did a wonderful job putting together this video montage of 825 stills he took documenting his Comic-Con journey.
This video truly captures the experience of the Con, from waiting in line, walking the exhibit floor, watching panels, the true mayhem of the hectic cosplayer filled streets, the Comic-Con night life and everything else in between. The very end of this video even offers the same euphoric feeling you get walking out of the darkness of Hall H into the bright California sun after watching something amazing!
For those of you who did go, this is a great reminder of the madness we got to be apart of! If you attended Sdcc '12, what was your favorite thing you saw? If you didn't go, what are you sad you missed?
