    Jason Momoa transports us into his fantasy realm in the Slumberland trailer.

    IT’S TIME TO DREAM ON!

    This holiday season Jason Momoa invites you on an adventure into the world of dreams. “Slumberland”comes to Netflix on November 18.

    The new trailer of “Slumberland” has been released on Netflix. We’ll see the land where such a wild and crazy dream has come true.

    In Slumberland, Marlow Barkley’s Nemo and Jason Momoa’s Flip go on an extraordinary voyage in a dreamworld. Nemo’s tranquil childhood in the Pacific Northwest is upended when her father, Peter (Kyle Chandler), dies at sea and she moves in with her well-meaning but socially awkward uncle, Phillip (Chris O’Dowd). By day, she struggles with her new school and schedule, but by night, she meets Flip, a rough-around-the-edges bandit who becomes her sidekick and guide thanks to a secret map to Slumberland. Nemo and Flip go on an extraordinary journey through dreams and nightmares, during which Nemo hopes to be reunited with her father.

    Slumberland is based on a series of comic strips by Winsor McCay called Little Nemo in Slumberland. These strips were first published at the start of the 20th century. The only big change that the trailer shows so far is that the main character goes from being a little boy to a little girl, which, in a story about childhood dreams and imagination, doesn’t mean much. Along with Barkley and Momoa, the story also stars Kyle Chandler, India de Beaufort, Chris O’Dowd, Humberly González, and Tonya Cornelisse.

    Slumberland is directed by Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire & Mockingjay) and produced by Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, David Ready, and Francis Lawrence. It was written by David Guion and Michael Handelman (Night at the Museum; Secret of the Tomb). Weruche Opia, India De Beaufort, and Humberly Gonzalez are also featured in the movie.

    Netflix premieres Slumberland on November 18. You can watch the new trailer below:

  • Henry Cavill Bewitches Filipino Fans In Manila Visit For Netflix’s “The Witcher”

    Henry Cavill Bewitches Filipino Fans In Manila Visit For Netflix’s “The Witcher”

    Oh boy! Manila finally got the luck to see Henry Cavill up close last December 12, Thursday, during his visit to Manila to promote his new series for Netflix, The Witcher. Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, the series’ show-runner, was with him from the press conference to meeting their incredible Manila fans.

    The two were very generous and game to sign a lot of posters with Henry even signing Superman items as he walked towards the black carpet.

    We listed our ultimate fan-favorite moments during the event:

    • We were able to see him in flesh and up close! (Thanks to Netflix for making it possible!)
    • We got to know that he was a huge PC gamer and a fan of the novel long before he can read it himself. What a sweet surprise that this mutated monster hunter can relate to what he is and will be on the show.
    • Lauren’s answer when asked about how she approaches each project (that come her way) on a woman’s perspective:

    I never think of myself as a female writer. I’m just a writer trying to solve stories. What’s important to me is to make sure that the stories that we’re telling about women are as dimensional and interesting as the ones were telling about men. It’s not about women being appropriate. It’s not about men being more appropriate. We’re making sure that all these characters are fully fleshed out.

    • That Geralt has indeed soft spots! He is for love which fans will get to see on the show
    • That the show will be the next big thing to look out for.
    • The souvenirs! What better way to commemorate the show than having to bring home memorabilia — a shirt, a signature wolf medallion, and a signed poster!
    • The fact that Henry went an extra mile for his audition and didn’t stop waiting, making follow up, and phone calls for the most coveted role.

    Thank you, Netflix! We are excited to know all about The Witcher and see how beautiful you guys will transform it will from a novel to series. The Witcher premieres on Netflix on December 20th.
