The film, directed by David Lowery (AIN’T THEM BODIES SAINTS), stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Wes Bentley, Karl Urban, Oona Laurence, Robert Redford and newcommer Oakes Fegley as “Pete.”
A reimagining of Disney’s cherished family film, “Pete’s Dragon” is the adventure of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliott, who just so happens to be a dragon.

PETE’S DRAGON opens on August 12, 2016.
