&#8216;Slumberland&#8217;: Jason Momoa Goes Full Johnny Depp in the $150 Million Dreamworld Family Fantasy on Netflix

The onslaught of new path-changing cinema releases on Netflix continues with
Slumberland. Helmed on Jason Momoa’s wide shoulders, the project was not too
hefty to carry at all. The movie is inspired by Winsor McCay’s comic strip,
Little Nemo in Slumberland. Directed by the mastermind behind the Hunger Games
film series and screenplay by David Guion and Michael Handelman, the flick was
all set to attain brilliance. An impressive cast and crew were not the only
thing that Slumberland had going for itself.



The massive $150 million budget of the movie will definitely get you out of your
Slumberland. Moreover, watching Khal Drogo dance around and being the president
of fun in slumberland is very tempting. While it is unclear if the movie lists
Alice in Wonderland or Finding Nemo as its inspiration, Jason Momoa has
definitely taken his from Johnny Depp.


JASON MOMOA IS JOHNNY DEPP’S DISTANT RELATIVE IN SLUMBERLAND

The plot of the Francis Lawrence-directed film follows Nemo, who unlike the
Disney Nemo is not a fish but is just as lost. The flick is centered around
little Nemo, a young girl who has recently lost her only parent. The loss of a
parent as tragic as it is for anybody, especially, hit Nemo very hard
considering how they lived in a lighthouse and he didn’t even send her to
school. After her father’s death, her uncle takes her in.

Slumberland, instead of following the usual and expected route of making the
uncle have Cinderella’s stepmother’s persona, makes him an understanding and
kind guardian. He tells her stories about her father, which leads her to
discover a whole new land in her dreams.

One eventful night, her bread suddenly turns into a giant spider with no sense
of traffic rules and takes Nemo back to the place she desires to be in the most:
The Lighthouse.

However, instead of meeting her father, she sees a man resembling Hagrid in a
pink suit by the name of Flip. Although Jason Momoa does every bit that is
required from tap dancing to jumping off cliffs, fans can’t help but imagine the
dreamworld it would have been if Johnny Depp played it. As Nemo tries to bring
her father back after Flip tells her anything she wishes for can come true in
Slumberland, they jump from one imaginary land to another.

You can watch this adventure on Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/title/81220825]
when it releases on the 18th of November.
