Jagged Edge Productions and ITN Studios, the makers of “Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey” and its upcoming sequel, have announced they are building a new cinematic world titled “The Twisted Childhood Universe.” The new chilling cinematic universe will feature previously announced stand-alone films “Bambi: The Reckoning,” “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare,” and “Pinocchio Unstrung,” and introduce new characters such as Sleeping Beauty, The Mad Hatter, and Rabbit from “Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey.” All of these characters will culminate in the upcoming film “Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble” in 2025 when the monsters join forces to take down the world.
“It will be complete carnage,” said Rhys-Frake-Waterfield, Producer of Jagged Edge Productions. “We are heavily influenced by ‘Freddy Vs Jason’ and ‘The Avengers.’ We would love to see a horror movie where the villains group together and are going after their survivors. We have some incredible set pieces in mind and some sequences I think will truly shock people. The movies we are working on now as stand alones are all building towards ‘Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble’.”
Scott Chambers, Producer of Jagged Edge Production, adds, “Similar to ‘The Avengers,’ we will follow Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Owl, Piglet, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty, Bambi, The Mad Hatter, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell joining forces to wreak havoc. We are working with a larger scale budget on this one and are excited for what the future will hold. When you see the stand-alone movies, you will see the easter eggs hinting toward the crossover. Some of the villains also will not see eye to eye, which will allow for some carnage within the group in some epic sequence of monster vs monster.”
Rhys Frake-Waterfield is set to direct. The cast includes Scott Chambers returning as Christopher Robin, Megan Plactio as Wendy Darling, Roxanne Mckee as Xana, and Lewis Santer as Tigger. More casting announcements will be made. Stuart Alson and Nicole Holland serve as Executive Producers.
The next film in the “Twisted Childhood Universe,” “Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2,” arrives in theaters for a three-day theatrical run on March 26, 27, and 28 from Fathom Events. The end credits will feature an exclusive look at “Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble.”
